EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Hospitallers: Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, a religious military order founded in the 11th century. The primary objective of this noble order was to provide compassionate care for sick pilgrims in Jerusalem. However, following the devastating siege of Acre in 1291, they were compelled to relocate their operations to Cyprus. From 1309 until 1522, these valiant individuals operated from Rhodes, tirelessly tending to those in need and upholding their Christian values. Their unwavering dedication and selflessness earned them widespread admiration throughout history. In an extraordinary turn of events, the Hospitallers found themselves seeking refuge once again. This time they settled on the picturesque island nation of Malta from 1530 until 1798. Despite facing numerous challenges over centuries, including conflicts and political upheaval, they remained steadfastly committed to their mission. The image encapsulates both the spiritual essence and martial prowess that defined this remarkable religious military order. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of their historical significance but also highlights their enduring legacy within society today
