EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of Pedro Alvares Cabral, a renowned Portuguese navigator and explorer from the 16th century. The portrait showcases Cabral's distinguished features, with his prominent beard and hat adding an air of authority to his presence. As the first European to discover Brazil in 1500, Cabral holds great historical significance. The lithograph also incorporates elements that allude to Cabral's surname. The coat of arms depicted in the print features two goats, symbolizing "cabra" which means goat in Portuguese. This clever play on words adds a touch of whimsy to the artwork while honoring his family name. Created by the Portuguese School during the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. It was inspired by an engraving from the sixteenth century, showcasing how Cabral's legacy continued to be celebrated long after his time. With its intricate details and historical context, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into one man's extraordinary journey across uncharted waters. It serves as a reminder of Cabral's pioneering spirit and contributions to South American exploration.
