"Knights of Calatrava in War Costume, Ceremonial Costume and as a Knight of the Order of St. James" is a historical illustration by Italian artist Vittorio Raineri, created circa 1820. This work is part of a larger collection featured in "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" (Ancient and Modern Costume), a comprehensive study on the history of clothing and customs by Giulio Ferrario. Raineri, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of historical attire, contributed to Ferrario's work by illustrating the various costumes and uniforms of different periods and regions.

The illustration in question showcases the attire of the Knights of the Order of Calatrava, a Spanish military and religious order established in the 12th century during the Reconquista, and the Order of St. James, another prominent chivalric order in Spain. The artwork provides a visual comparison of the knights in three different types of dress: their war costume, ceremonial costume, and the regalia associated with the Order of St. James.

Raineri's work is significant for its historical accuracy and attention to detail, offering valuable insights into the clothing and heraldry of these medieval orders. The illustration serves as an important visual document for historians and enthusiasts of chivalric and military history, reflecting the customs and traditions of the time. The inclusion of this illustration in Ferrario's "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" underscores the importance of visual sources in the study of historical dress and the cultural significance of such orders in European history.
