"Ritratto Di Un Cavaliere Di Malta Con La Croce Di Malta" (Portrait of a Knight of Malta with the Maltese Cross) is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Vittore Ghislandi, also known as Fra Galgario (1655–1743). This portrait exemplifies Ghislandi's mastery in capturing the character and status of his subjects, often members of the clergy and aristocracy. The painting is distinguished by its detailed depiction of the Knight of Malta, including the iconic Maltese cross, which serves as a symbol of the subject's religious and chivalric affiliation.

The work is a testament to Ghislandi's skill in rendering textures and materials, with the knight's attire and the cross being depicted with meticulous attention to detail. The painting also reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Knights of Malta, during the Baroque period. The order was a powerful and influential religious and military organization, and its members were often the subject of portraiture, showcasing their prestige and piety.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, "Ritratto Di Un Cavaliere Di Malta Con La Croce Di Malta" is believed to have been painted in the early 18th century, during the mature period of Ghislandi's career when he had established himself as a prominent portraitist in Bergamo and Northern Italy. The painting is a valuable piece of art historical interest, contributing to the understanding of Baroque portraiture and the representation of religious orders in art.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context, offering insights into the social hierarchy and the visual culture of the time. It remains an important work within Ghislandi's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its portrayal of the Knights of Malta.
