EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the early mounted Knights Templar in their battle dress, dating back to 1783. The colour lithograph, created by an Italian School artist from the 18th century, beautifully captures the essence of these legendary knights. Housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this image depicts two knights riding on a single horse – a symbolic representation of the Templar order's rule that required them to always patrol in pairs. The Knights Templar were known as the defenders of the Temple of Solomon and played a significant role during the Crusades. Their distinctive uniform and helmets are meticulously portrayed in this artwork, showcasing their dedication to protecting Christianity and its holy sites. Mounted on majestic horses with shields at hand, these brave warriors exude strength and valor. The image not only highlights their military prowess but also emphasizes their bond as they ride side by side into battle. This remarkable piece offers a glimpse into history while capturing both human and animal elements. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these noble knights who dedicated themselves to chivalry and honor. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary photograph for all art enthusiasts to admire. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition focused on religious iconography or medieval warfare.
