Detail of standing man with moustache and burgundian-style chaperon in the "panel of the prince" (third panel of the st. Vincent panels, usually dated c. 1470, attributed to painter nuno gonçalves). This figure is most commonly identified as prince henry the navigator (died 1460, aged 66). Several scholars (e. G. Markl, 1994; salvador marques, 1998) have recently disputed this identification, and instead proposed this to be an image of king edward of portugal (d. 1438, aged 47), although this is not yet widely accepted. Object Type: painting. Genre: religious art. Date: 15th century. Dimensions: height: 207 cm (81.4 in) ; width: 129 cm (50.7 in). Medium: panel. Collection: National Museum of Ancient Art.
