Jerónimos Monastery — Manueline Grandeur

This Lisbon architecture print presents the Jerónimos Monastery, a triumph of Manueline design, in stark black and white. Commissioned by King Manuel I in 1495, this Portugal poster features the distinctive Portuguese Late Gothic style. It celebrates the Age of Discovery, funding its construction through the spice trade. The monastery served the Hieronymite monks and became the resting place of Vasco da Gama, whose tomb resides within. Its iconic south portal and intricate cloisters showcase a wealth of marine motifs, armillary spheres, and rope work, reflecting Portugal’s seafaring heritage.
