EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copper engraving captures the regal presence of a Knight of the Order of Aviz in his ceremonial dress. Originating from Portugal, this military religious order traces its roots back to the conquest of Aviz and the establishment of a fortress that served as their headquarters. Originally known as the Knights of St. Benedict d'Aviz, they later adopted the Benedictine rule in 1162.
In this illustration, we see the knight adorned in a white coat with a striking red Cistercian cross prominently displayed on his chest. This deviation from tradition adds an intriguing twist to his attire, showcasing his individuality within the order's strict rules and regulations.
The intricate details captured by Robert Von Spalart in "Images historiques des costumes des principaux peuples de l'Antiquite et du Middle Ages" bring this historical figure to life, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era filled with chivalry and honor.
As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions that have shaped organizations like the Order of Aviz, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
