Wilhelm von Argenteuil: 1791 Hand-Colored Engraving of Templar Treasurer
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Wilhelm von Argenteuil, Schatzmeister des Tempelherrn-Ordens" (Wilhelm of Argenteuil, Treasurer of the Templar Order), presents a serene portrayal of a significant figure within the Templar hierarchy. Depicted in full-length, the figure stands in a pious pose with hands clasped in prayer, embodying the spiritual devotion that characterized the order. His simple, flowing white robe reflects humility and the Templar's commitment to monastic values.
This engraving is based on a depiction from Wilhelm's gravestone, adding an authentic historical dimension to the artwork. Published in 1791 as part of the series "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden," or "Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders," this piece is part of an important collection documenting the attire and customs of chivalric orders. Christian Friedrich Schwan, the publisher, meticulously compiled and issued this work in Mannheim over a period spanning 1779 to 1791.
The engraving’s delicate hand-coloring highlights the figure's soft features and understated elegance, making it a valuable collector's piece. Perfect for historians, collectors of Templar memorabilia, or those with a deep appreciation of historical religious art, this piece represents both an artistic and a historical treasure.
Condition Report:
Minor foxing on the margins with slight age toning, typical for its age. The hand-coloring is vivid and well-preserved, with minor creasing visible at the corners. Overall, a fine example of late 18th-century engraving.
Framing Tip:
To complement the engraving’s peaceful tone, use a soft ivory or cream-colored acid-free mat with a light wooden or gold-toned frame. This will enhance its tranquil appearance while providing a sophisticated display. UV-resistant glass is recommended to protect the hand-coloring from fading over time.
