Summary "Galleria dos Vice-reis e Governadores da India Portugueza" by José Maria Delorme Colaço is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book focuses on the prominent figures who served as Viceroys and Governors of Portuguese India, detailing their contributions and historical significance during a pivotal time in colonial history. It features a meticulous compilation of portraits alongside summaries of notable actions taken by each leader. The content of the book is structured around a series of portraits, each accompanied by a brief historical overview of the corresponding Viceroy or Governor. Colaço highlights key military campaigns, territorial conquests, and infrastructural developments initiated by these officials, such as D. Francisco d'Almeida's fortifications and Affonso de Albuquerque's notable victories. The narratives encompass both the achievements and challenges faced by these leaders, also touching on their legacies as illustrated through their final resting places and the respect bestowed upon them by their contemporaries. The exploration of these historical personas offers insight into the broader context of Portuguese imperial aspirations in Asia, their encounters with local powers, and the complexities of colonial governance.
