EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodcut print captures the essence of a Knight Templar in travelling dress from the 16th century. The Knight Templars were known as the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, established in 1119 with a mission to protect pilgrims from marauding Muslims. This particular image depicts a senior man standing tall, adorned in traditional knight attire complete with a sword and cross.
The intricate details in this woodcut by Jost Amman showcase the dedication and commitment of these knights to their cause. Despite being suppressed by Pope Clement V in 1312, their legacy lives on through historical artifacts like this one.
As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back in time to an era filled with chivalry and honor. The knight's cape billows behind him as he looks away into the distance, perhaps contemplating his next journey or battle.
This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history and religious significance that surrounded the Knights Templar. It is a testament to their unwavering faith and bravery in the face of adversity.
Let us admire this piece not just for its artistic value, but also for its portrayal of a legendary figure who dedicated his life to serving others.
