Maltese Knight Attending Council: 1791 Hand-Colored Engraving in Ceremonial Robes
This elegant hand-colored engraving, titled "Maltheser-Ritter, wenn er in den Rath geht" (Maltese Knight Attending Council), portrays a knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta in ceremonial attire, specifically for council meetings. The figure wears a long black robe adorned with the iconic white Maltese cross, symbolizing the knight's devotion to the Order's principles of faith and service. His flowing wig and ruffled cuffs add an aristocratic air, while his poised hand gesture suggests engagement in a formal discourse.
This artwork is part of the series "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden," or "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," published between 1779 and 1791 by Christian Friedrich Schwan in Mannheim. Schwan's series provides an invaluable historical record of the attire, traditions, and roles of European chivalric orders, reflecting the grandeur and significance of their ceremonial functions.
The engraving’s intricate details and vivid hand-coloring bring the ceremonial attire to life, making it a standout piece for collectors of historical prints, heraldry, or Maltese Order memorabilia. Its connection to the Order’s storied history, rooted in the Crusades and their enduring role in humanitarian service, adds a layer of historical and cultural significance.
Condition Report
Some foxing and light staining near the margins, consistent with age. The hand-coloring remains vibrant, and the image is unaffected. Vertical marks along the edges, likely from handling, but the engraving retains its overall integrity.
Framing Tip
To enhance its noble aesthetic, use a dark gray or black acid-free mat and a silver or gold frame. This will highlight the robe's dark tones while giving prominence to the Maltese cross. Adding UV-resistant glass will protect the delicate hand-coloring and ensure its preservation for generations to come. Perfect for a formal or historical-themed display.
