"Knight of the Spanish St. James Order 1558" is a portrait painting by Anthonis Mor van Dashorst, also known as Antonio Moro, a prominent Northern Renaissance artist from the Netherlands. The painting, dated 1558, depicts a knight of the prestigious Order of Santiago, a Catholic order of knighthood founded in Spain in the 12th century. The Order of Santiago, or the Order of St. James of the Sword, was established to protect pilgrims and to fight against the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula.

Anthonis Mor van Dashorst was renowned for his portraiture, and his works were highly sought after by the nobility and royalty of his time. He served as a court painter to Philip II of Spain, and his portraits are characterized by their meticulous detail, rich color palette, and the psychological depth he imbued in the sitters' expressions.

The knight's pose and attire are indicative of his social standing and the honor associated with being a member of such a distinguished order.

The painting is an example of Mor's mastery in capturing the elegance and dignity of his subjects, as well as his ability to render fabrics and textures with a high degree of realism. The work reflects the cultural and political milieu of the 16th century, where such portraits served not only as personal likenesses but also as representations of power, wealth, and piety.
