EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures a moment of tension and defiance during the Portuguese Revolution, as nuns stand under Republican protection. The anti-clerical sentiment in Portugal was at its peak during this time, particularly in Lisbon where the Republic issued a decree expelling all members of religious communities from the country.
Despite facing persecution and being forbidden to appear in their traditional garb, these brave nuns chose to remain in Portugal and continue practicing their faith. Their unwavering dedication to their beliefs is evident in their stoic expressions as they stand together under the watchful eye of Republican guards.
The artist, Frederic de Haenen, skillfully conveys the gravity of the situation through his detailed depiction of each nun's face and posture. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both the strength and vulnerability of these women.
This historical image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who stood up for their beliefs in times of turmoil. It is a testament to the resilience and courage displayed by those who refuse to be silenced or oppressed.
