EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Sebasiao Jose de Carvalho e Mello, the Marques de Pombal, a prominent figure in Portuguese history. Painted by an anonymous artist from the 18th century Portuguese School, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo in Lisbon, Portugal. The Marques de Pombal was not only a prime minister and politician but also a statesman of great influence. His distinguished presence is captured flawlessly in this portrait, as he stands confidently with his signature wig and aristocratic attire. The attention to detail is remarkable, highlighting every intricate feature of his face and clothing. One cannot help but notice the crucifix held firmly in his hand—a symbol of faith that perhaps played a significant role in shaping his political decisions. This juxtaposition between religion and politics adds depth to the portrayal of this influential man. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to a time when power and authority were embodied by individuals like the Marques de Pombal. It serves as a reminder of their impact on society and their lasting legacy.
