Meet Pedro Américo, a Brazilian painter who left an indelible mark on the art world.

His painting 'Faust and Margarida' was inspired by Goethe's work, and it influenced many others, including writers, painters, and musicians.

Pedro Américo's 'The Carioca' was a painting that shocked the palace staff, who deemed it too immoral for the palace walls.

This painting, 'Moisés and Joquebede', tells the story of the Old Testament and the dilemma of Joquebede, who had to save her newborn son from the pharaoh's orders.

Pedro Américo's 'Tiradentes Esquartejado' makes a powerful analogy between the death of Tiradentes and the death of Christ on the cross.
