Public Art, Lisbon (No. 7)

Jardim da Praça Dom Luís is a garden in Lisbon. It has a monument to Marquês Sá da Bandeira in the center.

The monument was inaugurated on July 31, 1884 and consists of three parts: the base, formed by three steps, the stone pedestal and the main statue, with Sá da Bandeira standing holding a banner. Flanking the base are four bronze statues: one at the back representing History, two lions on each side and, at the front, a woman with a child in her arms, representing the enslaved people of Africa. The sculptor was the Italian Giovanni Ciniselli and the architect Germano José Sales.

Dom Luís Garden, Lisbon (No. 2) 

Bernardo de Sá Nogueira de Figueiredo (Santarém, 1795 - Lisbon, 1876), Marquis of Sá da Bandeira, was a man of ideals, constantly fighting for freedom and equality. He believed that there were thousands of subjects of the Portuguese crown – slaves – who did not enjoy the guarantees granted by the constitutional charter. He was, for that reason, a committed abolitionist and promoted colonial development. He advocated the complete abolition of slavery, believing that education and freedom to work were the only true factors in the development of the African territories. As a legislator, in confrontation with the authorities and the African settlers, he gradually abolished slavery and the slave trade, with various decree-laws between 1836 and 1869. The monument that pays tribute to him was funded by public subscription, with several former slaves among the contributors.

He himself wrote the epitaph: ‘(...) he served his country and, serving his convictions, he dies content. The nation owes him nothing’.
