Pedro Américo's masterpiece, Independence or Death, marked a turning point in Brazilian art.

This monumental painting commemorates Prince Dom Pedro and his troops at the decisive moment of the Grito do Ipiranga.

The removal of white and blue ribbons from the soldiers' arms symbolized their loyalty to Portugal.
