EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the serene beauty of Maria Francisca of Savoy, Queen of Portugal, as she resides in the Convent of Our Lady of Hope in Lisbon during the years 1667-1668. After her marriage to King Afonso VI was annulled, Maria Francisca found solace and purpose within the walls of this convent.
The artist, Alfredo Roque Gameiro, skillfully portrays Maria Francisca in a moment of quiet contemplation, her regal presence softened by the simple garb of a nun. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich history and religious devotion that defined her time in this sacred space.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a pivotal period in Portuguese history. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes capture not only Maria Francisca's physical likeness but also her inner strength and resilience.
Maria Francisca's story is one of transformation and faith, a reminder that even queens must sometimes seek refuge in humble surroundings. This lithograph serves as a poignant tribute to her legacy as a woman who embraced change with grace and dignity.
In our modern world filled with distractions and noise, let us take inspiration from Maria Francisca's example and find moments of peace and reflection amidst life's chaos.
