Description
English: "A view of the Passeio Público" (1856), by Leonel Marques Pereira. The painter depicted a group of elegant characters, assembled in two rows, walking through the Passeio Público park, in Lisbon, Portugal. The group is the center of the composition and is arranged in what seems to be an elongated V shape that heightens the perspective. In the center of the group, the figure of King Ferdinand II stands out from the others, tall, lean and elegant, wearing a brown morning coat, white trousers and a tall hat. Next to the central character, wearing military uniform, the King's aide-de-camp, the Count of Campanhã; the other two male figures around these central characters are Almeida Garrett and the Marquis of Ávila e Bolama. All of the figures are surrounded by a thoroughly green environment that reminds the country depictions of Watteau. The King greets the ladies and the assembled gentlemen uncover their heads, their greeting being elegantly returned. The gentlemen are also in morning dress, top hats and tight trousers. The ladies wear a set of colourful dresses and ample skirts, over petticoats and crinolines. Capes, hats and parasols are natural complements of the toilette. The surrounding natural environment was treated by the artist with large detail, be that in colour or shape, which allows us to identity some species of the trees, such as a banana-tree on the left side of the observer, and the willows in the background. Also in the background, one can glimpse the ruins of the Carmo Convent and the buildings around the Rossio Square.
Português: "Uma vista do Passeio Público" (1856), por Leonel Marques Pereira. O pintor representou um conjunto de personagens galantes alinhadas em duas fileiras, que passeiam nesse espaço rodeado de densa vegetação. O grupo centraliza a composição e dispõe-se numa espécie de V alargado o que constitui um efeito de acentuação da perspectiva. Nesse grupo, destaca-se ao centro a figura do rei D. Fernando II, alto, esguio e elegante, trajando fraque castanho, calças brancas e chapéu alto. Junto à personagem central e trajando uniforme militar, o seu ajudante de campo, o conde de Campanhã, sendo as outras duas figuras masculinas que compõem este núcleo central, Almeida Garrett e o Marquês de Ávila e Bolama. Todo o conjunto de figuras representadas se encontra enquadrado por um ambiente densamente natural que faz lembrar as representações campestres de Watteau. O rei cumprimenta as damas e os cavalheiros presentes descobrindo a cabeça, sendo correspondido da forma elegante nesses cumprimentos. Os cavalheiros apresentam-se também de fraque, cartola e elegantes calças justas. As damas surgem representadas com um conjunto de coloridos trajes e amplas saias que fazem adivinhar por baixo os saiotes e as crinolinas em oposição aos corpetes justos e decotados. As capas, os chapéus e as sombrinhas constituem o natural complemento de toilette. A envolvencia vegetal foi tratada pelo pintor com enorme detalhe quer cromático quer de traço, motivo pelo qual é possível identificar algumas espécies de árvores diferentes, tal como a bananeira do lado esquerdo do observador e os chorões, ao fundo. Também ao fundo, num plano alteado semi-encoberto pela vegetação são visíveis as ruínas do Convento do Carmo e o casario do Rossio.
