EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fresco, titled "Arrival of the Spanish squadron to Lisbon under the commandment of Don Alvaro de Bazán," captures a significant historical moment in the Iberian Peninsula. Painted in the late 16th century, the scene depicts the Spanish squadron, led by the renowned admiral Don Alvaro de Bazán, entering the harbor of Lisbon. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the bustling port to life, with Santa Cruz, the fortress guarding the entrance to the Tagus River, standing proudly in the background. The Spanish squadron's arrival in Lisbon was a crucial event in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain had been united under the same crown since 1580, but tensions between the two regions were high. Don Alvaro de Bazán's mission was to assert Spanish control over the Portuguese capital and quell any resistance. The peaceful arrival depicted in this fresco, however, belies the political turmoil that followed. The painting's composition masterfully conveys the grandeur and power of the Spanish fleet, with the ships' sails billowing in the wind and the soldiers and sailors lining the decks. The port of Lisbon, teeming with activity, is a hive of commerce and industry, with merchants and fishermen going about their daily business. This exquisite fresco, a testament to the artistic skill of its creator, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political intrigue, maritime power, and the bustling activity of a 16th-century port city.
