EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking illustration showcases a Knight of the Order of Santiago, an esteemed knightly order established in the 12th century in Spain under King Alfonso II. The Order, also known as the "Santiago Matamoros" or "Moorslayer," was dedicated to the protection of the Christian faith and the defense of the Spanish borders against Muslim invaders. The illustration, titled "Cleri totius Romanae subiecti Ecclesiae," was created in 1585 by the collaborative efforts of Franҫois Modius and Jost Amman. This vertical, upright print was produced using the xylography technique, a popular method of printmaking during the Early Modern Era. The knight is depicted wearing the distinctive red cross of the Order of Santiago on his chest, signifying his membership and commitment to the Order. His armor is adorned with intricate designs, and he holds a sword and shield, symbolizing his readiness for battle. The knight's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and courage. The title of the print, "Cleri totius Romanae subiecti Ecclesiae," translates to "Of the entire Clergy of the Roman Subject Church." The inclusion of this title suggests that the illustration was part of a larger series or publication, possibly related to the Christian faith or the Order of Santiago. This portrait offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Order of Santiago and the role of knights in Early Modern Europe. The intricate details of the woodcut technique bring the knight to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Western art or history.
