EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Knights of Calatrava in their striking war and ceremonial costumes, as well as a depiction of a Knight of the Order of St. James. The illustration comes from Guilio Ferrario's renowned work, Costume Antico e Moderno, published around 1820. The image transports us to an era where chivalry and honor were held in high regard. These valiant knights belonged to the military branch of the Cistercian order and were founded in Castille during the 12th century. Their distinctive white robes adorned with a red cross fleurdelisee symbolize their dedication to righteousness and faith. In this print, we witness these noble warriors donning their ancient war attire, ready for battle with swords at their sides. Their strength emanates from every stroke of Vittorio Raineri's colored engraving. Additionally, we are presented with an exquisite portrayal of one knight dressed in his ceremonial costume - a testament to grandeur and tradition within this esteemed order. As we delve into history through this artwork, it becomes evident that these knights played significant roles not only on the battlefield but also as defenders of justice and protectors against evil forces. This print serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to duty while showcasing the artistry behind capturing such historical moments. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece beautifully, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details centuries later.
