EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Infante Henry, Duke of Viseu, also known as Henry the Navigator. Born in 1394, this Portuguese explorer played a pivotal role in the Age of Discovery, spearheading numerous maritime expeditions that would expand Europe's knowledge of the world.
Henry's legacy as a pioneer of exploration is immortalized in this striking image from The Romance of the Merchant Ship, published in 1931. His determined gaze and regal attire convey a sense of ambition and adventure that defined his life's work.
As a member of the Portuguese royal family, Henry possessed both wealth and influence which he used to fund voyages along Africa's western coast. These expeditions laid the groundwork for future explorers like Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, who would go on to make even more significant discoveries.
Infante Henry's dedication to navigation and cartography earned him the title "the Navigator," reflecting his commitment to expanding geographical knowledge during an era when much of the world remained uncharted.
This print serves as a reminder of Henry's enduring impact on global exploration and discovery. His contributions continue to inspire adventurers and historians alike, making him a legendary figure in Portugal's rich history.
