EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Raymond de Puy, the esteemed First Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Created in 1842 by an anonymous French artist, this colored engraving beautifully captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping history. Raymond de Puy's significance cannot be overstated; he was instrumental in transforming the order into what would later become known as the Knights of Malta. Adorned in his striking red robe with a white Maltese cross symbolizing the eight beatitudes, he exudes authority and grace. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when religious devotion and chivalry were intertwined. De Puy's unwavering commitment to serving others is palpable through his serene expression and gentle demeanor. This illustration not only pays homage to Raymond de Puy but also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by those who dedicate their lives to noble causes. It invites us to reflect on our own capacity for compassion and selflessness. Preserved within private collections, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but never forgotten. Let it inspire us to embrace kindness, empathy, and courage just as Raymond de Puy did centuries ago.
