EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in history as St. Bernard, the abbot of Clairvaux, imparts the rules to the Templars. The image showcases a solemn ceremony taking place within the walls of a grand cathedral. St. Bernard stands tall and authoritative, dressed in his religious robes, while holding a sword symbolizing power and protection. Kneeling before him are members of the Knights Templar, their faces filled with reverence and devotion. They wear their distinctive knightly costumes adorned with crosses, representing their commitment to defending Christianity during the Crusades. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of Pope Innocent II and other bishops who have gathered to witness this important event. Their regal attire adds an air of formality to the occasion. In this print, we witness not only a historical moment but also an embodiment of faith, loyalty, and chivalry. It serves as a reminder of how institutions like these played crucial roles in shaping medieval society. This lithograph provides us with insight into both religious practices and military organization during that era. It is an invaluable piece from French School's 19th-century collection housed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris - truly capturing an extraordinary chapter in history for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today
