About the piece
Attributed to Nicolas-Louis-Albert Delerive, this 1807 painting captures the momentous embarkation of the Portuguese Royal Family to Brazil. The composition is masterfully detailed, featuring an intricate crowd on the Lisbon docks, ornate royal coaches, and ships waiting in the harbor under a sweeping, atmospheric sky. The work serves as both a significant historical record and a grand example of early 19th-century European maritime art.
