Bathed in soft evening light, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos rises on the banks of the Tagus - a monument that breathes history. This impressive image shows the monument to the Discoveries in Lisbon from its most beautiful side: the silhouettes of the great seafarers, led by Henry the Navigator, appear almost alive, while the entire structure is majestically reflected in the calm water basin.
The monument is a reminder of Portugal's glorious age of discovery and symbolises the courage to seek new horizons. The scene is perfectly captured: with an expansive sky, gently drifting clouds and a golden light that creates a dialogue between stone and water.
This picture combines history, architecture and light art in a fascinating way. It is an expressive work for people who are passionate about culture, seafaring or simply the beauty of Lisbon. A real eye-catcher for modern rooms, galleries or offices - with the promise: Every sunset is a new dawn.
I have brought back many photo impressions from my travels. So that you can also enjoy the impressive pictures, I offer selected photos here that can be printed on canvas, as posters, on acrylic glass and even more media. For more travel inspiration, visit my website.. Read more…
