Flight of the Royal Family of Portugal - A Historic Escape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Flight of the royal family of Portugal" captures a pivotal moment in history. The image, taken by William Heysham Overend in the late 19th century, depicts a scene from Cassells History of England published around the 1920s. In this remarkable engraving, we witness an extraordinary event that unfolded during Napoleon's reign. The Portuguese royal family can be seen fleeing their homeland amidst turmoil and uncertainty. Dressed in regal costumes, they embark on a barge accompanied by English naval vessels and tugboats. The composition exudes tension as it showcases the desperate flight to safety. Boats fill every inch of space on Lisbon's waters as they transport members of the royal family away from imminent danger. This visual narrative not only highlights historical events but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. Overend's skillful craftsmanship brings this significant moment to life with intricate details and vivid imagery. Every stroke tells a story - one filled with fear, hope, and courage against all odds. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us reflect on the power of art to preserve history for future generations. It reminds us that even in times of chaos and upheaval, there is always strength within humanity to overcome adversity and forge ahead towards brighter horizons.
