| Abstract: | Mid-seventeenth century Malta saw the emergence of Lucas Garnier (c.1600–1672), a French painter who, through his art and family connections, became a servant-at-arms of the Order of St John. After having left his hometown in France, the artist travelled to Malta through Rome, and joined the Order a few years after his arrival. As fra serviente, Garnier did not belong to the high rank of nobility, however, his prestigious membership with the Order of St John during a time when there was no other important artist working on the island allowed him to become the most important up-and-coming artist of the period. |
