This impressive photo motif shows the famous Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the Monument to the Discoveries, which sits majestically on the banks of the Tagus in the Belém district of Lisbon. At the centre: Henry the Navigator, visionary and pioneer of the Portuguese voyages of discovery. Behind him, the great names of Portuguese history - poets, cartographers, conquerors - are lined up like a stone procession towards the horizon.
The clear sky, the gentle blue of the river and the bright red of the passing ship lend the scene a vivid depth. This picture is more than just a snapshot - it is a symbol of departure, curiosity and the courage to break new ground.
An ideal work of art for anyone who wants to feel history - and for those who see Portugal not just as a holiday destination, but as a source of cultural strength. Whether in the office, living room or entrance area: this motif adds meaning, elegance and a touch of maritime adventure to any room.
