EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithography print depicts a Knight of the Distinguished Order of the Golden Fleece, an esteemed chivalric order founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy in 1429. The Order, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the world, is represented here by a knight wearing the full ceremonial regalia. The collar of the order, made of alternating gold and enamel fleeces, is prominently displayed around his neck. The knight's red suit, hat, and toga-like robe are adorned with gold trim and intricate designs, reflecting the grandeur and opulence of the Bourbon monarchy during the 15th century. The knight wears a pendant of the golden fleece, the symbol of the order, on a gold chain. The Order of the Golden Fleece was a Catholic institution, and its members were expected to uphold the values of chivalry and piety. This print is taken from the Spanish publication "Historia de las Ordenes de Caballeria y de las Condecoraciones Espanolas" (History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations), published in Madrid in 1865. The intricate details of the knight's attire and the rich colors of the print make this a truly captivating piece of historical art.
