Alegoria à Constituição de 1822 is a 1821 unspecified by Domingos Sequeira, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
This painting depicts a chaotic scene with people in various states of distress. In the foreground, a group of individuals are shown in a state of turmoil, with some appearing to be in a state of panic or despair. The background of the painting is dark and ominous, with hints of a larger, more ominous presence looming over the scene. In the midst of the chaos, a figure stands out, appearing to be in a state of calm or contemplation. This figure is surrounded by a halo of light, which serves to further emphasize their sense of serenity amidst the turmoil. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting serves to heighten the sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure and emphasizing the contrast between light and dark.
Domingos António de Sequeira (10 March 1768 – 8 March 1837) was a Portuguese painter at the Royal Court of King John VI of Portugal.
