Nuno Gonçalves (1450-71) was a 15th-century Portuguese, who is believed to have been court painter for Kings Afonso V and John II. He is credited for the painting of the Saint Vincent Panels (Paineis de São Vicente de Fora). The panels depict Portuguese royalty and two saints among with the main elements of Portuguese society in the 15th century: clergy, nobility and commoners.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
