Assassinated Candles Carlos Deathbed Deaths Husband Luiz Mourns Portugal
The Queen's Lament - Mourning the Assassinated Monarchs of Portugal, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and historic photograph, Queen Amélie of Orléans, the consort of King Carlos I of Portugal, is depicted in a profound state of grief as she tenderly caresses the hands of her late husband and their eldest son, Prince Luís Filipe, who were both brutally assassinated on February 1, 1908, in Lisbon. The tragic event took place during a public procession, leaving the Portuguese monarchy and the nation in shock and despair. The image captures the Queen in a dimly lit room, surrounded by the somber atmosphere of mourning. The room is adorned with numerous lit candles, casting an ethereal glow on the Queen and the deathbeds of her loved ones. The solemn expression on her face conveys the depth of her sorrow and the enormity of the loss she has endured. The assassination of Carlos I and Luís Filipe marked the end of the House of Braganza and the beginning of the First Portuguese Republic. The tragic event was a turning point in Portuguese history, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of political upheaval. The Queen's unwavering devotion to her family and her regal composure in the face of unspeakable tragedy make this image a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The photograph, taken in 1908, is an enduring symbol of the grief and loss felt by the Portuguese people during this tumultuous period in their history.
