EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print depicts a Knight of the Order of Santiago during the Middle Ages, dressed in full war attire, hailing from the Iberian Peninsula. Established in the early 12th century, the Order of Santiago was one of the most prestigious chivalric institutions in Europe, with a rich history deeply rooted in both religious and military traditions. The knight is clad in a red cloak, adorned with the emblem of the Order - the Cross of Saint James - prominently displayed on his chest. The cross, symbolizing the protection of the pilgrims on the Way of St. James, is a powerful reminder of the religious significance of the Order. The knight's helmet, crowned with a white plume, and his long, flowing white cape add to the grandeur of his appearance. The knight's war dress includes a suit of armor, a shield bearing the emblem of the Kingdom of Leon, and a sword with a distinctive blade. The Knight of the Order of Santiago was a formidable warrior, dedicated to defending Christendom and expanding the Christian Reconquista in the Iberian Peninsula. This stunning print is taken from the "Historia de las Ordenes de Caballeria y de las Condecoraciones Espanolas" (History of the Orders of Chivalry and the Spanish Decorations), published in Madrid in 1865. The meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors showcase the rich history and heritage of the Order of Santiago during the Middle Ages.
