This print showcases the enigmatic figure of King Pedro I of Portugal, a ruler who left an indelible mark on history. Born in 1320, he was known by two contrasting epithets - "The Just" and "The Cruel" reflecting the complexities of his reign. In this striking portrait, we see King Pedro I depicted with regal poise and authority. The image is based on a 17th-century engraving that has been meticulously preserved in the archives. Every detail, from his ornate crown to his intricate royal attire, exudes a sense of power and grandeur. Pedro I's rule during the 14th century was marked by both achievements and controversies. He implemented significant reforms aimed at promoting justice within his kingdom, earning him the title "The Just". However, he also faced criticism for his ruthless actions against political opponents and perceived enemies, leading to him being dubbed "The Cruel". This print not only captures an important historical moment but also invites us to delve into the complex nature of monarchy during this era. It serves as a reminder that even powerful rulers like Pedro I were multifaceted individuals whose legacies continue to shape our understanding of Portuguese history. Whether you are fascinated by monarchs or intrigued by medieval times, this archival print offers a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in Portugal's past – one defined by ambition, power struggles, and conflicting ideals.
