EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and resolute demeanor of Alberto Carlos da Silveira, the Portuguese Minister of War during the First World War. Dressed in his full military uniform, complete with decorative buttons and a distinguished moustache, da Silveira exudes a sense of authority and leadership. The glasses perched on the bridge of his nose add an intellectual and thoughtful air to his image. The 1910s were a tumultuous time for Portugal, as the country navigated the aftermath of the 1910 revolution and the onset of the First World War. Da Silveira, a military leader and politician, played a key role in Portugal's response to the global conflict. As Minister of War, he oversaw the mobilization of Portuguese troops and the coordination of military efforts alongside the Allied powers. This photograph, taken circa 1915, offers a glimpse into the wartime era and the men who shaped Portugal's response to the crisis. The studio setting and formal pose emphasize the importance of the subject and the gravity of the situation. Despite the challenges of the time, da Silveira's unwavering commitment to his country and his role as a military and political leader shines through in this powerful and evocative portrait.
