Drie ridders 1858 - 1864

"Drie ridders" (Three Knights), a lithograph by Charles Rochussen, depicts three knights from different orders: Johanniter, Marian, and Templar. Created between 1858 and 1864, the artwork showcases the detailed costumes and armor of these historical figures, with a focus on their religious symbols and distinctions. The composition is simple yet effective, with the knights standing in a row, highlighting their individual attributes. This lithograph is a valuable document of medieval European history and the visual culture of the 19th century, currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
