EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Knight of the Order of Saint Lazarus. 1802" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of chivalry and tradition. Created by Christoph Weigel, a renowned German engraver, this print showcases a member of the prestigious Knightly Order of Saint Lazarus. The Knight is depicted in his resplendent attire, adorned with intricate details that reflect his noble status. The hand-colored copperplate engraving brings out the vibrant hues of his costume, adding depth and richness to the image. Every element has been meticulously crafted – from the knight's ornate armor to his plumed helmet and flowing cape. The Order of Saint Lazarus originated in the Holy Land during the 12th century as a hospitaller order dedicated to caring for those afflicted with leprosy. This historical context adds an additional layer of significance to this artwork. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an individual but also an entire society steeped in rich traditions and customs. It serves as a reminder of our collective history and heritage.
