EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of Manuel I, also known as "The Fortunate" who reigned as King of Portugal from 1469 to 1521. The image is a reproduction from Lettura Nova, a manuscript created by Alem Duoro in 1513. Crafted on vellum by the Portuguese School in the 16th century, this portrait exudes an air of medieval grandeur. Manuel I's profile dominates the composition, capturing his commanding stature and noble demeanor. He wears an exquisite hat adorned with ermine fur, symbolizing his royal status and opulence. The intricate historiated initial 'O' serves as a decorative element that adds depth and richness to the artwork. Intriguingly, Manuel I holds a letter or scroll in his hand, hinting at his involvement in diplomatic affairs or perhaps showcasing his intellectual pursuits during the Renaissance period. This detail further emphasizes his multifaceted personality and leadership qualities. Preserved within Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo in Lisbon, Portugal, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Portuguese history and culture during Manuel I's reign. As it is now out of copyright restrictions, we can appreciate its beauty without limitations.
