EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "KNIGHTS: HOSPITALER, 1585" takes us back to the late Renaissance period, specifically to the year 1585. The image showcases a distinguished Knight of the Order of the Hospitalers of Saint John of Jerusalem, also known as Knights Hospitaller. The knight's attire is meticulously depicted in this woodcut by Jost Amman from Frankfurt, Germany. Clad in an ornate suit of armor and donning a helmet adorned with intricate engravings, he exudes strength and valor. His shield proudly displays the emblem of the order - a white cross on a black background. The Hospitalers were renowned for their commitment to providing medical care and protection to pilgrims traveling to Palestine during medieval times. Originating from Jerusalem, they played a crucial role in defending Christian territories against Muslim forces. This woodcut not only captures the fashion trends prevalent during that era but also serves as a testament to the bravery and dedication displayed by these knights. It offers us a glimpse into their world - one filled with chivalry, honor, and unwavering faith. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artifact from its collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance in understanding our past.
