The Soldiers of Afonso Albuquerque Conquer Aden - A Glimpse into the Legacy of a Great Portuguese General
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the fearless soldiers of Afonso Albuquerque as they launch an audacious attack on Aden in February 1513. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli for the "History of Navigators" in 1936, this color lithograph showcases the remarkable talent and attention to detail that brings this historical event to life. Afonso de Albuquerque, known as Albuquerque the Great, was not only a renowned Portuguese general but also a statesman and empire builder. His conquests and exploration efforts left an indelible mark on world history. In this image, we witness his army scaling the fortified walls of Aden with determination and courage. The imposing city walls stand tall against the backdrop of Arabian architecture, symbolizing both resistance and opportunity for colonial expansion. The soldiers carry crosses proudly on their armor, representing their unwavering faith amidst adversity. As one gazes upon this scene, it becomes evident that this assault marked a significant turning point in imperial ambitions. It exemplifies both Albuqerque's military prowess and his strategic vision for expanding Portuguese influence across Eastern lands. Through Scarpelli's artistry combined with Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are transported back to an era where exploration was paramount and empires were built through sheer willpower. This print serves as a testament to the bravery exhibited by these soldiers who fought valiantly under Afonso Albuquerque's command during their quest for dominance in Yemen's port city - Aden.
