EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Lisbon's Royal Palace, a majestic structure that stood proudly before the devastating earthquake of 1755. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the grandeur and elegance of the palace is undeniable. The image transports us to an era when Portugal's monarchy reigned supreme, showcasing a building that exudes power and opulence. Its architectural details are meticulously depicted, from the intricate carvings on its façade to the towering columns that support it. One can only imagine the splendor that awaited within those walls. However, this serene scene belies the tragic fate that would befall this magnificent palace just a few years later. In 1755, an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude struck Lisbon with devastating force, reducing much of its historic center to ruins. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of what once was – a testament to both human achievement and nature's destructive power. Preserved in private collection today, this print allows us to reflect upon history and appreciate the beauty that once graced Lisbon's skyline. It serves as a window into another world – one where kings ruled over vast empires and palaces stood tall against all odds. Through this evocative image captured by eGiancarlo Costa and made available by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we are invited to contemplate not only the past glory of Portugal but also our own impermanence in the face of time's relentless march forward.
