EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph captures the majestic Castle of Guimaraes in Portugal, a symbol of the country's rich history and medieval architecture. The artist, Alfredo Roque Gameiro, has beautifully depicted the intricate details of this historic landmark, showcasing its impressive walls and towers.
The Castle of Guimaraes holds great significance in Portuguese history as it is believed to be the birthplace of the nation. It was here that Afonso I, known as "Afonso Henriques," declared himself king and established Portugal as an independent kingdom in 1139.
Gameiro's illustration from Quadros da Historia de Portugal transports us back to a time when knights roamed these ancient walls and battles were fought for control over these lands. The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to the stone structure, highlighting its importance as a cultural heritage site.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength embodied by the Castle of Guimaraes throughout centuries of turmoil and triumph. It stands tall against the test of time, a testament to Portugal's enduring legacy. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our connection to the past and our responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations to admire and cherish.
