About the Item
Monk of the Order of Christ in Portugal - Historic 18th-Century Engraving
This hand-colored engraving portrays a monk of the prestigious Order of Christ in Portugal, a Catholic chivalric order with origins rooted in the Knights Templar. The figure is depicted in a traditional black and white monastic robe, accentuated with a red cross emblem over the chest. His posture, with an outstretched hand, evokes a sense of guidance and solemnity. The simplicity of the attire emphasizes the monk's dedication to faith and discipline.
This engraving is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan's influential series "Illustrations of All Spiritual and Secular Orders" (Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter- und Orden…), published between 1779 and 1791. Schwan's work meticulously documents the attire of various spiritual and secular orders, providing a glimpse into their historical significance. Originally issued as individual booklets, the series showcases the diversity of religious and military orders from Europe during the late 18th century.
Schwan was an esteemed publisher and bookseller in Mannheim, known for his attention to detail and dedication to capturing the essence of these orders. The engraving itself is finely detailed, with rich coloration and a delicate hand that brings the attire to life. It stands as a testament to the cultural and religious history of the era.
This piece is perfect for collectors of religious or historical art, adding depth and context to any collection.
Condition Report:
The engraving is in good condition with minimal age-related toning, light foxing on the margins, and no significant tears or blemishes. Colors remain vivid, retaining their original charm.
**Framing Tip:**
A classic black or dark walnut frame with a white matting will highlight the engraving’s historic elegance. Adding a gold fillet accent within the matting can complement the ornate cross detail, creating a distinguished display.
