Grand Master of the Constantinian Order - 18th-Century Engraving
This captivating hand-colored engraving, titled "Großmeister des Constantiner-Ordens," portrays the Grand Master of the Constantinian Order in the late 18th century. Rendered in exquisite detail, the figure is dressed in ceremonial attire, featuring a vibrant purple hat adorned with a feather, a blue mantle lined in white, and a red sash symbolizing his rank. The gold chain and ornate medallion further emphasize the regality and high stature of the Order. The engraving is part of the historical series "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," published between 1779 and 1791 by Christian Friedrich Schwan in Mannheim. This series offers a fascinating glimpse into the attire and symbolism of knightly orders of the period.
The artwork combines historical accuracy with artistic finesse, making it a valuable addition for collectors of antique prints and those interested in the history of chivalric orders. The intricate hand-coloring enhances the richness of the attire, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistic craftsmanship of the 18th century. This piece is not only a window into historical fashion but also a testament to the artist's skill and attention to detail.
Condition Report:
The engraving is in a very good condition for its age, with minor age-related foxing in the margins. The colors remain vibrant, and the details are crisp. Paper is lightly toned, consistent with the 18th-century origin. No tears or significant damage.
Matting and Framing Tip:
A complementary gold or silver frame with a deep navy or burgundy matting will highlight the rich colors of the Grand Master's attire while adding an elegant touch to its presentation. Consider using museum-grade UV protective glass to preserve its vibrancy.
