EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Historical views of Portugal" takes us back to the 18th century, providing a glimpse into the rich history and religious traditions of this enchanting country. The handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases three distinct scenes that offer valuable insights into Portuguese culture. The first scene depicts a devout Catholic kneeling before a statue of a saint, highlighting the deep-rooted influence of Catholicism in Portugal. This image beautifully captures the spiritual devotion and reverence that has shaped the lives of many Portuguese throughout history. Moving on, we witness a peasant diligently threshing corn with oxen. This portrayal not only showcases traditional agricultural practices but also emphasizes the importance of hard work and self-sufficiency in rural communities during that era. Lastly, we are confronted with an awe-inspiring view of Lisbon's devastating earthquake in 1755. This catastrophic event left an indelible mark on Portuguese history and serves as a reminder of both human resilience and nature's unpredictable power. Rev. Isaac Taylor's Scenes in Europe publication from 1819 offers an educational journey for young travelers who yearn to explore different cultures from their own homes. Through this remarkable print, viewers can immerse themselves in Portugal's past while appreciating its unique blend of religion, tradition, and natural disasters. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate these historical moments captured by talented artists centuries ago without commercial intentions but rather as windows into our shared heritage.
