EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Martim da Sousa, an influential figure in Portuguese history. Illustrated by the talented artists of the 16th-century Portuguese School, this pen and ink drawing brings to life the remarkable story of da Sousa's accomplishments. Martim da Sousa (c. 1500-1571) was not only a nobleman but also an intrepid explorer who led Portugal's first official expedition into mainland Brazil. His bravery and leadership skills were further demonstrated when he successfully acquired Diu, India for Portugal in 1535. The illustration is part of Gaspar Correia's renowned book "Lendas da India" or "Legends of India" which provides one of the earliest accounts of Portuguese rule in Asia. Although written by Correia during the 16th century, it wasn't published until much later in the late 19th century. In this portrait-like depiction, Martim da Sousa stands tall and proud, exuding authority as a royal governor. The attention to detail captures his regal attire and confident expression perfectly. This artwork serves as a testament to both Martim da Sousa's significant role as an explorer and colonizer in shaping Portugal's colonial empire and Gaspar Correia's invaluable contribution to documenting these historical events. A true masterpiece from the past that continues to inspire awe today.
