EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, taken from a historical account of the peregrinations of the Syon Nuns, transports us back to the early 17th century in Lisbon. Crafted on vellum by an anonymous Portuguese artist, this print showcases remarkable detail and artistry. The scene depicted is one of great significance - it captures the arrival of these devout nuns after their extensive travels as missionaries. The ship gracefully glides into port, its sails billowing with a sense of triumph and accomplishment. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be drawn to the architectural marvels that line the city's skyline; each building stands as a testament to Lisbon's rich history. The order founded by King Henry V in 1413 sought to spread their religious teachings far and wide. This illustration serves as a visual record of their journey, documenting not only their physical voyage but also their spiritual pilgrimage. Illuminated manuscripts like this were highly prized during this era for both their aesthetic beauty and educational value. The intricate details within this artwork showcase the skillful handiwork employed by its creator. Now preserved under His Grace The Duke of Norfolk at Arundel Castle, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in religious history. It reminds us of the dedication and courage exhibited by these pioneering women who traversed vast distances in pursuit of spreading faith and knowledge across borders.
