EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of chivalry and nobility in the form of a Knight of Malta, also known as a Knight Hospitaller, from the 16th century. The knight stands tall and proud, exuding strength and determination with his sword at his side and walking stick in hand.
The Order of St John of Jerusalem, to which this knight belongs, was founded in the late 11th century with a dual mission: to fight against the "infidel" and to provide care for the sick and wounded. When their stronghold in Rhodes fell to Muslim forces, they were granted refuge on the island of Malta where they continued their noble work.
In this woodcut by Jost Amman, every detail is meticulously rendered - from the intricate patterns on the knight's cape to his distinguished moustache and beard. His gaze is fixed somewhere off in the distance, perhaps contemplating his next heroic deed or strategizing for battle.
This portrait serves as a reminder of a bygone era when honor and duty were paramount virtues. It transports us back in time to an age of knights errant and epic quests, where bravery knew no bounds. Let this image inspire you to embrace your own inner knightliness and face life's challenges with courage and grace.
