"Portrait of a Grand Master of the Order of Saint John of Malta" is a significant 18th-century painting by the French artist Antoine de Favray, who spent a considerable part of his career in Malta. This artwork is a notable example of Favray's portraiture, capturing the grandeur and authority of the Knights of Malta during a period when the Order was a major military and charitable force in the Mediterranean. The painting is distinguished by its meticulous detail, vibrant colors, and the skillful depiction of the Grand Master's regalia, reflecting the artist's mastery in portraying the nobility and high-ranking officials of his time.

Antoine de Favray (1706–1798) was a prominent painter whose works included portraits, religious themes, and scenes of daily life. His tenure in Malta, from 1744 to around 1771, allowed him to become closely acquainted with the Knights of Malta, leading to numerous commissions from the Order and its members. "Portrait of a Grand Master of the Order of Saint John of Malta" stands out as a testament to Favray's ability to blend realism with the ceremonial pomp associated with his subjects.

The painting not only serves as a historical document, providing insight into the attire and insignia of the Order's leadership but also highlights the cultural and artistic exchanges between Malta and mainland Europe during the 18th century. Through Favray's lens, viewers gain a glimpse into the rich ceremonial life of the Order of Saint John and the artistic heritage that flourished under its patronage.

While the specific identity of the Grand Master depicted in the painting might not be universally agreed upon due to the lack of explicit historical records attributing the portrait to a particular individual, the artwork remains an invaluable piece of the cultural and artistic legacy of the Knights of Malta. It encapsulates the grandeur of the Order at its zenith and celebrates the artistic achievements of the period, making it a subject of interest for historians, art enthusiasts, and scholars alike.
