Godfrey Adelmar, Founder of the Knights Templar is a 1602 ink by William Rogers, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a knight in heavy armor holding a sword and a shield. His helmet has a plume, and he stands on a rocky ground with a stormy sky behind him. The knight’s armor is detailed, showing straps and joints, while his face is serious and focused. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth, especially in the armor and fabric. This style was common in engravings of the time. Look up engraving to see how artists like Rogers made prints with metal plates.
