EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Afonso d Albuquerque" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The print is a reproduction from Crabbs Historical Dictionary, published in 1825. It showcases an English School's artistic rendition of Dom Afonso de Albuquerque, a prominent figure in Portuguese history. The portrait depicts a distinguished naval officer with a commanding presence. Donning an elegant hat and sporting a well-groomed beard, Albuquerque exudes authority and wisdom. As the first Viceroy of Portuguese India, he played a pivotal role in expanding the Portuguese Empire during the 15th and 16th centuries. Albuquerque's legacy as a colonial administrator is evident through his portrayal as both fidalgo (nobleman) and Duke of Goa. This image captures his influential position within the Portuguese Empire at its height. The lithograph offers viewers insight into this historical figure who left an indelible mark on world history. It serves as a reminder of Portugal's rich maritime heritage and its significant contributions to global exploration during that era. Displayed against a plain background, this print allows us to focus solely on Albuquerque himself – his piercing gaze hinting at his determination and ambition. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to fascinate art enthusiasts interested in exploring the lives of notable figures from our past.
