Frei Carlos Lisbon museum 5.jpg


It's been a while since I visited the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, and I still have so much to show. And I will.
Eventually :)

Dozens of paintings are still waiting for their turn, and as I was browsing through them today, I stopped at Frei Carlos. Multiple pieces by this artist were displayed in one of the halls.

I did not shoot in detail all of them, though they were all pretty impressive in colours and extreme details.

I will start with the only triptych.

The Calvary Triptych

The middle part, titled "Calvary" is 164 cm tall and 60 cm wide. The sides ("Saint Jerome delivering the Rule to Saint Paul and Saint Eustatia" on the left and "Saint John the Baptist" on the right) are 126 cm tall. Quite a decent size, though not the biggest one in the museum.

More info from the museum:

I couldn't help myself and had to catch some closeups of the faces.
Sad, miserable, tired faces...

Next up we have another larger peace measuring 123 cm x 129 cm.

Christ Appearing to the Virgin

A peak to the humans behind:

And a much happier face this time.
Take a look at the gold details on the fabric. Beautiful work!

The last one from the sperate shots:

St Francis Receiving the Stigmata

And another sad face.
I can't help it... For some reason, they are more interesting, and the way they are painted, we can almost feel their pain.

Some other ones that I left for another time to catch the details, I guess.
Here you can see the mentioned "St Anthony and the Child Jesus" which is a pair with the one above. It is the first one in the photo below:
