EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Knight Templar in garb 'no longer of the cross'" transports us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of the Knights Templar. The engraving, created by Jacques Charles Bar in 1802, showcases a knight adorned in an intricate costume that signifies his membership in this esteemed military order. The Knights Templar was founded in 1118 by Hugues de Payens and became renowned for their bravery and dedication during the Crusades. However, as time passed, their influence waned, leading to significant changes within their ranks. This particular image captures a Knight Templar whose attire no longer bears the iconic symbol of the cross. Handcolored with meticulous detail, this engraving provides insight into both historical fashion and religious orders of its time. The elaborate costume design reflects not only Germanic influences but also demonstrates how clothing played a crucial role in expressing one's identity within society. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these noble knights. Their commitment to defending Christianity and protecting pilgrims on their journey to Jerusalem remains etched in history. Through this image, we can appreciate not only their gallantry but also gain a deeper understanding of medieval culture and its impact on subsequent generations.
