Silva Porto - The landscape in drawing and painting

 

 

       


 

      This exhibition provides an informed presentation on part of the graphic work of Silva Porto (1850-1893), interpreting a set of drawings from the collection of the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes - SNBA. Specifically, his innovative look at the territory is framed, characterized by the novelty of the air book style and the approach to the territory's identity traits: landscapes, trees, animals and people. It brings together a set of 32 drawings and a painting, promoting a contextualized reading of its genesis.

“Travels are the artist's great book. As necessary to him as the Bible and Latin to a priest. Moral food is in the book of the world (...)”.

It is with this idea of ​​Amadeo that we challenge you to undertake this exhibition journey.

 

He established himself in Portuguese painting as a landscaper, also asserting himself as an interpreter of rural scenes and an excellent animalist, but above all he distinguished himself as a Painter of History.

  Vacant look, distant thought, imposing figure, when Eduardo was not in his sanctuary – Foto Arte, on Rua Cândido dos Reis, in Amarante, opened by his father in 1930 – he wandered around Amarante with his inseparable companion - a camera.
