EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Serra de Estrella or De Neve" takes us back to the early 19th century, specifically May 16th, 1811. Engraved by C. Turner and colored through lithography, this artwork showcases the stunning landscape of Serra de Estrella in Portugal during a time of war. In this scene, we witness a British army on the move. Troops are seen marching through the rugged terrain with their baggage and supplies as they traverse these majestic mountains. The presence of horses and mules emphasizes the logistical challenges faced by armies during wartime. The artist, Thomas Staunton St. Clair (1785-1847), masterfully captures both the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of conflict in this composition. The rural surroundings provide a stark contrast to the military presence, reminding us that even amidst war, life continues in these remote regions. This image transports us to an era when soldiers marched tirelessly across unfamiliar lands for strategic purposes. It serves as a historical document from the Peninsular War period—a significant chapter in European history. Preserved within a private collection today, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its importance as a testament to past events. Its availability via www. bridgemanart. com ensures that viewers can explore and learn from this remarkable piece for generations to come.
