EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Mosteiro dos Jeronimos Belem in Lisbon, Portugal. Taken from "Select Views of the Principal Cities of Europe" engraved by J H Le Keux and published in London in 1832, this image transports us back to a time when this magnificent structure was commissioned by King Manuel I. The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos Belem is steeped in history and serves as the final resting place for renowned figures such as Camoes, Vasco da Gama, and several Portuguese kings. Its construction began in 1502 under the guidance of Diogo Boitac and continued through various architects until its suspension in 1551. The tower, rose window, and manueline style are prominent features that make this monastery a true masterpiece of 16th-century Portuguese architecture. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can't help but be captivated by the intricate details that adorn every inch of the building's facade. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly remarkable, showcasing an era where artistry met spirituality with breathtaking results. This print allows us to appreciate not only the architectural brilliance but also offers a glimpse into Portugal's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even centuries later, these structures continue to stand tall as testaments to human ingenuity and creativity.
