The Order of Hospitallers, also known as the Knights of Malta, has a rich and storied history that spans centuries. Founded in the 11th century by Hugues de Payens, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, this chivalric order was dedicated to protecting Christian pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. One notable event in their history is depicted in Henri Lehmann's artwork. Guillaume de Clermont defending the walls at the Siege of Acre in 1291 showcases the bravery and resilience of these knights during a crucial battle. Their unwavering commitment to safeguarding their stronghold against overwhelming odds is truly inspiring. Another significant moment captured on canvas is Jacques de Molay's capture of Jerusalem in 1299. This oil painting by Dominique Papety portrays the triumph and jubilation felt by these noble warriors as they reclaimed this holy city from its captors. The legacy of the Knights of Malta continues with Gregorio Fidanza, whose portrait adorns an oil-on-board masterpiece. Fidanza represents not only an individual knight but also symbolizes the dedication and selflessness exhibited by all members who served under this esteemed order. Guy of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem and Cyprus, is immortalized through another captivating oil painting from 1845. The regal depiction reminds us that these knights were not just soldiers but leaders who played vital roles in shaping medieval politics and governance. The Maltese crown once worn by Tsar Paul I serves as a tangible reminder of Russia's connection to this illustrious order. Its inclusion within "The Antiquities" collection further emphasizes how widespread their influence reached across continents. Francesco De Mura's allegorical artwork from 1747 beautifully captures the nobility associated with being part of such an esteemed order like Malta. It highlights how membership was considered a mark of honor among European aristocracy during that era.
