1. Title: "Dom Miguel I of Portugal (1802-1866): A Monarch Amidst Political Turmoil" This enchanting engraving portrays Dom Miguel I of Portugal (1802-1866), who reigned as King of Portugal from 1828 to 1834. The image, created in Spain, Madrid, in the Autonomous Community's National Library, captures the regal presence and intensity of this historical figure. Dom Miguel ascended to the throne following the abdication of his father, John VI, during the Portuguese Liberal Wars. His reign was marked by the struggle between the absolute monarchy and the liberal forces advocating for political change. The image showcases the king in an upright, vertical position, dressed in formal attire, with a serious expression that reflects the challenges he faced during his rule. The House of Braganza, to which Miguel belonged, had a long and complex history in Portuguese politics. His reign was a period of restoration for the absolute monarchy, which was met with resistance from the liberal factions. The sociedades politicas (political societies) and the polcas (military units) played significant roles in the power struggles during this time. This portrait, with its stark contrast of black and white, serves as a poignant reminder of the intricate political landscape of the early 19th century in Portugal. It offers a glimpse into the life of a monarch who navigated the complexities of his time, leaving an indelible mark on the history of his nation. The engraving, a testament to the artistic prowess of its creator, stands as a timeless piece that continues to intrigue and inspire, offering valuable insights into the past.
