About the Item

Knights and Devotion: Rhodes Knight, Monk, and Artist in Costume Description: This striking trio of hand-colored lithographs offers a powerful contrast between martial valor, religious humility, and artistic refinement in Renaissance Italy. Each print, originally published in 1845 as part of a historic costume compendium, is rendered with care and rich pigment, portraying diverse figures in full period dress. Their juxtaposition creates a visual dialogue between faith, discipline, and creative identity in late medieval and early Renaissance life. Plate No.30, titled "Chevalier de Rhodes" (Knight of Rhodes), depicts a kneeling warrior in full armor, hands clasped in solemn prayer. His red and silver surcoat bears the cross of the Knights Hospitaller, and his helmet and gauntlets lie respectfully beside him. The figure conveys both the spiritual dimension of knighthood and the ceremonial rigor of chivalric orders. This plate stands out for its emotional resonance and exquisite detail in the armor and red cloak. Plate No.31, "Chartreux" (Carthusian Monk), features a white-robed monk in profile, holding a staff and rosary. The Carthusian order was known for silence, seclusion, and prayer, and this image captures the quiet dignity of monastic life. The simple hooded habit, tied with a leather belt, contrasts sharply with the elaborate armor and embroidered garments of other figures, serving as a powerful visual symbol of spiritual detachment. Plate No.32, "Chimabue", likely refers to the famed 13th-century Florentine painter Cimabue. He is shown in a short tunic and a decorative, hooded mantle adorned with gold embroidery. His posture is poised and introspective, suggesting scholarly or artistic contemplation. The clothing, though luxurious, suggests a refined sensibility rather than ostentation. This image celebrates the rise of the intellectual and creative class during the proto-Renaissance. These three prints tell a compelling story of Italian society, from sacred devotion to knightly honor and early artistic genius. Perfect for collectors of costume history, medieval studies, or ecclesiastical and chivalric art. Condition: All prints are in very good condition. The hand coloring is vibrant and even, with light age-toning around the edges and a few faint foxing spots in the margins. Image areas are clean and undamaged. Framing Tips: Display as a horizontal triptych for narrative cohesion. Use matching frames in walnut or black with off-white mats to complement the palette. Consider including a small engraved plaque below each for identification. These prints would enhance a study, library, or gallery space dedicated to religious or knightly heritage. Use UV-filtering glass for long-term preservation.
