EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas portrait captures the likeness of Luis de Miranda Pereira, Viscount of Meneses (1820-1878), in an elegant and formal setting. The painting, completed in 1825, depicts the Viscount in full military regalia, adorned with numerous decorations and medals, reflecting his esteemed position in the Portuguese military. The year of the painting, 1825, was a significant one in Brazilian history, as it marked the beginning of the Regency of Pedro I, who would later become Emperor Pedro II of Brazil in 1840. The Viscount of Meneses, who was born in Portugal, played an important role in the political and military affairs of the Brazilian Empire. He served as the Brazilian Minister of War and Navy under Emperor Pedro II, and was known for his loyalty and dedication to the monarchy. The portrait captures the Viscount's distinguished appearance, with his neatly groomed beard and the epaulettes on his military uniform. The painting is now housed in the National Historical Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the country. The vertical, upright composition and vibrant colors of the painting add to its visual appeal, making it a captivating and intriguing work of art that continues to fascinate viewers to this day.
