EDITORS COMMENTS
Pedro II (1825-1891): A Regal Farewell to Brazil This evocative painting captures the poignant moment of departure for Dom Pedro II (1825-1891), the last Emperor of Brazil (1831-1889), as he bids adieu to his beloved country following the Declaration of the Republic in 1890. The allegorical scene, painted by Brazilian artists Marisia Luisa and Oscar Americano, is now housed at the Marisia Luisa and Oscar Americano Foundation in Sao Paulo. The Emperor, dressed in a formal uniform adorned with medals and orders, is seen mounting his horse with a heavy heart. His beard and mustache, characteristic of the era, frame a thoughtful expression. Soldiers and banners, bearing the colors and flags of the Brazilian army, surround the scene, symbolizing the militaristic nature of the time. The painting captures the essence of the era, marked by the transition from monarchy to republicanism. Pedro II, a popular and enlightened ruler, was deeply saddened by the turn of events. He had ruled Brazil for over 58 years, and the prospect of leaving his people was a bitter pill to swallow. The painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Marisia Luisa and Oscar Americano. It stands as a historical record of a significant moment in Brazilian history, a time of change and transformation.
