[ translate ]

Property from a Private Collection E. RICHARD (c.1720) The Benedicon of the Knights of Malta/The Proclamation of the Knights of Malta signed 'E Richard' (lower right) oil on canvas 60 x 70 cm. (23.5 x 27 3/4 in.) overall framed: 86 x 95 cm. (34 x 37 1/2 in.) The Benediction of the Knights of Malta refers to a special blessing associated with the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, a Catholic lay religious order of chivalry. The order, which dates back to the 11th century, is also known as the Knights Hospitaller or simply the Knights of Malta. They have a long history of defending the Christian faith and providing medical care. The ceremony involves a formal religious service, as can be seen in the present work often in a chapel or church associated with the Order. The benediction might include the recitation of prayers, the singing of hymns, and the blessing of the participants.
