Trinitaire - Litho of a Trinitarian Monk of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity

About the Item

Trinitaire - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Trinitarian Monk This rare 1862 hand-colored lithograph depicts a Trinitaire, or Trinitarian monk, adorned in the traditional habit of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity. The figure is shown in a cream-colored cloak with a distinctive red and blue cross on the chest, symbolizing the order's dedication to the redemption of captives. The wide-brimmed hat and flowing robe capture the elegance and functionality of the attire worn by these monks. The Trinitarian Order was founded in France in 1198 by Saint John of Matha and Saint Felix of Valois. Its primary mission was the liberation of Christian captives held by Muslims during the Crusades. The striking red and blue cross became a hallmark of their work, signifying their commitment to sacrifice and charity. Today, the order continues to focus on humanitarian missions and pastoral work, with members active across Europe, the Americas, and Africa. This lithograph is part of the Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome, created by G. Perugini. It beautifully preserves the historical attire and significance of one of Catholicism's most unique religious orders. Ideal for collectors of religious art, antique prints, or those interested in ecclesiastical history. Translation of Introduction Text A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others. Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites. With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.
