Title: Knight of the Order of St. Mark in Venice, 18th-Century Hand-Colored Engraving
Description:
This exquisite hand-colored engraving depicts a Knight of the Order of St. Mark in Venice, distinguished by his elegant black robe and golden embroidered sash. The knight stands poised on a platform, holding a hat while a medallion featuring the lion of St. Mark dangles prominently. The intricate details of the attire highlight the grandeur and ceremonial significance of this order, revered for its historical and religious prominence in Venetian culture.
The engraving is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan's series "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," originally published as separate booklets between 1779 and 1791. This work provides a remarkable glimpse into the ceremonial clothing and hierarchical traditions of various European orders. Schwan's meticulous research and artistry bring to life these historical vestments, serving as both a scholarly resource and a collector's treasure.
The hand-coloring adds vibrancy to the black and gold palette, offering a striking visual contrast and emphasizing the knight's regality. The engraving is on quality 18th-century paper, showcasing the engraving's fine texture and historic charm.
Condition report: Light age toning consistent with the engraving’s age. Margins intact with slight discoloration at edges; central image remains vivid and crisp, free from creases or significant blemishes.
Framing tip: A dark mat with a gold accent frame will complement the engraving’s refined color scheme, enhancing its historical elegance and making it a standout piece for display.
This rare engraving will appeal to collectors of historical art, those fascinated by chivalric orders, or anyone seeking an artwork with cultural and historical depth.
