Description
English: "Allegory to the Liberation of Portugal from the French Yoke" (1813), by Arcângelo Fuschini. Property of the Ajuda National Palace (on loan to the Constitutional Court since 1985). On the centre, on a pedestal over a stone dais with three steps, stands a bust of the Prince Regent, which Lysia (personification of Portugal) embraces. Two putti crown the bust with a laurel wreath. To the left, the three theological virtues (Faith, Hope, and Charity) are also about to be crowned in laurels and, at their feet, the Tagus looks on at the Prince. By the pedestal, sitting on one of the three stone steps, the Genius of Patriotism holds broken shackles on his right hand and an open book on his left hand: the Constitution. Next to the small Genius, the Christian Faith raises a golden shield with a bas-relief monstrance on it, banishing the French enemy, dressed like a Roman centurion. Christian Faith wears an orange dress with long sleeves and a long white cape with a hood that covers her long wavy hair. Next to her, the bare-chested Lusitanian Genius raises his sword and strikes the enemy, holding him by his cape so that he doesn't run away. The French backs away, with his sword down and looks up to the Heavens, where a bolt of lightning appears to strike him. With his right hand, the French holds a manacle to which a child and a man are confined. Above, among the clouds, the Hand of God holds a golden set of scales, the weighing pan on Portugal's side heavier.
Português: "Alegoria da Libertação de Portugal ao Jugo Francês" (1813), por Arcângelo Fuschini. Propriedade do Palácio Nacional da Ajuda (em depósito no Tribunal Constitucional desde 1985).

Ao centro, num pedestal sobre um estrado em pedra de três degraus, destaca-se um busto do Príncipe Regente, para o qual Lísia estende os braços. Dois querubins aproximam-se do busto para o coroar de louros. À esquerda, encontramos as três virtudes teologais (a Fé, a Esperança e a Caridade), também elas prestes a serem coroadas de louros, e aos pés delas, encontramos o Tejo que olha para o busto do

Príncipe Regente. Junto do pedestal, sentado num dos três degraus de pedra, o Génio do Patriotismo segura correntes partidas na mão direita e um livro de capa vermelha aberto na mão esquerda: a Constituição. Ao lado do pequeno Génio, a Fé Cristã, ergue um escudo dourado com custódia em relevo, e avança sobre o inimigo gaulês que se encontra vestido como um centurião romano. A Fé Cristã usa um vestido de tonalidade alaranjada, de mangas compridas, e uma capa branca que chega aos pés, com capuz que lhe cobre a cabeça de cabelos ondulados e soltos; está acompanhada do Génio Lusitano que, de tronco nu e espada erguida investe na direcção do inimigo e segura-o com firmeza pela capa impedindo-o de fugir. O Gaulês recua de espada em baixo na mão esquerda, e olha para o céu de onde surge um raio que o atinge. Segura com a mão direita, atrás de si, a argola onde estão agrilhoados uma criança e um homem que se encontra caído por terra. Ainda no plano celestial, por entre as nuvens, vislumbra-se a mão de Deus que segura uma balança dourada, cujo prato mais pesado pende para o lado de Portugal, adivinhando-se, desta forma, a vitória lusitana sobre o ocupante francês.
