EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century Renaissance illustration, taken from the Livros do Almirante or "Books of the Admiral" of the Leitura Nova (New Reading) series, depicts the grand Festival of the Portuguese Fleet in Lisbon. The vibrant and intricately detailed scene unfolds on a bustling square, where various boats and ships of the Portuguese Navy are anchored, their masts and sails forming a colorful backdrop. The galleons, adorned with heraldic banners and insignia, proudly display the rich history and power of the Portuguese Empire during the early modern era. Sailors and onlookers crowd the shoreline, some engaged in lively conversations, while others attend to the boats' maintenance. The illustration's rich colors and meticulous brushwork showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. This miniature painting, held in the National Archive of the Tower of the Tombo in Lisbon, is a testament to the grandeur and significance of Portugal's maritime history.
