"Hospitalier: Guardians of Faith, Defenders of the Weak" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of the Hospitaliers. From their humble beginnings under Hugues de Payens, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, to their valiant defense at the Siege of Acre by Guillaume de Clermont, these noble warriors left an indelible mark on history. Artists like Lehmann and Papety have beautifully captured pivotal moments in this epic tale. Lehmann's portrayal of St. Julian the Hospitaller showcases his unwavering commitment as he tragically sacrifices his own family for a higher purpose. Meanwhile, Papety's masterpiece depicts Jacques de Molay capturing Jerusalem with resolute determination. The regal figure of Guy Lusignan, King of Jerusalem and Cyprus, stands tall in oil on canvas by an unknown artist from 1845. His leadership symbolizes the strength and resilience that defined these brave knights. Religious devotion is evident throughout this collection; Sts Bartholomew and Julian are depicted with tempera, oil, and gold on panel - a testament to their sanctity. The Maltese crown worn by Tsar Paul I further emphasizes the order's significance beyond borders. Frère Hospitalier serves as a reminder that compassion was not limited to battlefields alone; it extended into caring for those in need within hospitals run by these dedicated men. Francesco De Mura's allegorical painting highlights their nobility while honoring their service. Intriguing glimpses into individual lives also emerge through portraits such as Fra Antonio Martelli’s depiction from 1608 – a proud Knight who embodied chivalry and honor. Even Freemasons recognized the influence of Templars as seen in their artwork from 1805 - evidence that echoes across centuries attesting to enduring impact. Hospitaliers were more than just warriors; they were beacons guiding humanity towards a better future.
