EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 18th-century engraving presents a captivating panorama of Lisbon, Portugal's enchanting capital city, adorned with the regal portrait of John V (1689-1750), the illustrious monarch who ruled during the Age of Enlightenment. The panoramic view showcases the city's grandeur, with its sprawling buildings, the circular Tower of Belém standing proudly on the left, and the Tagus River flowing gracefully beneath, leading to the bustling harbor. John V, also known as João V or Juan, is depicted in the engraving with a thoughtful expression, donning the royal attire and adorned with the Order of the Tower and the Sword. He reigned from 1706 until his death in 1750, a period marked by significant expansion of the Portuguese territories, particularly in the Algarves and Brazil, as well as the establishment of the Braganza monarchy. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the modern architectural marvels of the city, such as the ornate houses, the grandiose buildings, and the circular structures that were characteristic of the time. This stunning piece of historical artistry offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Lisbon during the 18th century, making it an essential addition to any collection of Portuguese history or art.
