Pedro Américo, a Brazilian Romantic master, painted with bold light and color. Did you know his plein-air acrylics captured patriotic scenes across South America? His 1888 masterpiece Independence or Death!, with its glowing figures and natural backdrop, inspires artists today. Born in 1843 in Brazil, Américo blended history with nature, creating a unique artistic voice.
