EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The ordinances of the Order of the Golden Fleece" that once belonged to Philippe Sforza Visconti Doria, Marquis of Caravaggio. Dating back to the 17th century, this exquisite piece is an anonymous creation and currently resides in a private collection. The book itself is a copy of the Statutes of the Golden Fleece, written entirely in French and divided into 64 chapters. It holds great historical significance as it provides insight into the inner workings and regulations of this prestigious order. What makes this print truly remarkable are the two copper engravings by Corné-Elius Galle that precede the text. The first engraving displays the coat of arms used by kings of Spain since Charles V, while the second depicts a necklace crown worn by members of the Order. Suspended from this crown is a pendant bearing Duke Philip's motto: "Ante ferit qua (m) flamma micet" which translates to "We must strike so that flame gushes". Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured every intricate detail with her lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. This photograph serves as a window into an era when chivalry and honor were cherished virtues upheld by esteemed individuals like Philippe Sforza Visconti Doria.
