This print, titled "Costumes des ordres religieux et militaires" (Costumes of Religious and Military Orders), showcases an impressive array of insignia from various orders of the Knights Templar, as depicted in Jacques Charles Bars' seminal work published in 1778. The image, hand-colored from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Principal People of Antiquity and the Middle Aages, offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of these medieval orders. The centerpiece of the print is a collection of crosses, each representing a unique order. The Cross of the Knights Templar (338) is distinguished by its distinctive design, featuring two crossed swords and a red cross. Other orders represented include the Coat of Arms of the Knights Templar (342), the Flag of the Order (343), and the Axe of the Women's Order of the Hatchet (344). The print also showcases the insignia of several other orders related to the Knights Templar. The Order of Alcantara (345) is represented by a white cross on a red background, while the Order of Calatrava (346) features a white cross on a black background. The Order of Aviz (347) is represented by a white cross with a green border and a red cross in the center. The intricate detail and historical accuracy of this print make it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval history. The various orders of the Knights Templar played a significant role in European history, and this print offers a unique and visually stunning representation of their symbolism and legacy.
