About the Item
Grand Master of the Order of St. Michael in Ceremonial Attire, 18th Century Engraving
This hand-colored engraving depicts the Grand Master of the Order of St. Michael, adorned in a richly detailed ceremonial outfit. The figure exudes nobility and prestige, dressed in a luxurious cape embellished with gold and blue brocade patterns and the iconic cross of the order. His aristocratic stance, feathered hat, and commanding pose reflect the grandeur associated with his role as a protector of divine honor. The intricacy of the artwork highlights the importance of ceremonial dress in conveying power and authority.
This engraving is part of Christian Friedrich Schwan’s celebrated work, Illustrations of all spiritual and secular orders, originally published as individual booklets between 1779 and 1791. Schwan’s series serves as an important historical documentation of knightly orders, blending artistic mastery with cultural history. The artist's attention to detail captures the prestige and symbolism of the Order of St. Michael, a chivalric institution with roots in the French monarchy.
The print represents 18th-century European engraving at its finest, combining historical significance with exceptional artistic skill. It is a rare and collectible piece for those interested in the history of knighthood, ceremonial costumes, or the art of engraving.
