EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "View of Lisbon" takes us back in time to the bustling port city of 16th-century Lisbon, Portugal. The print showcases a panoramic vista of the Portuguese capital, with its iconic Tagus River flowing gracefully through the heart of the city. In this historical masterpiece, we witness a harmonious blend of cultures as English and Dutch ships peacefully coexist within Lisbon's vibrant harbor. The presence of these foreign vessels serves as a testament to the city's importance as a hub for international trade during this era. The intricate details captured by the French School artist transport us into an enchanting world where sailors navigate their majestic sailing ships amidst smaller boats and even a tugboat. This lively scene highlights not only the maritime significance but also emphasizes Lisbon's role as a center for transportation and commerce. As our eyes wander across this exquisite engraving, we are drawn to admire the architectural beauty that adorns both sides of the riverbank. From grand palaces to charming houses lining narrow streets, each building tells its own story about life in 16th-century Lisbon. With every glance at this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that history is not just confined to textbooks; it lives on through timeless pieces like this one – inviting us to immerse ourselves in distant worlds and appreciate how they have shaped our present-day existence.
