Upon arrival at the Foundation, immerse yourself in a fascinating artistic universe. Among the highlighted exhibitions, “Fernando Lemos: The Images That Look at Us” marks the centenary of this indispensable 20th-century Portuguese artist. Fernando Lemos transcended geographical borders, artistic languages, and fields of thought, and this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore his innovative and multifaceted legacy up close, revealing a body of work that challenges perceptions and invites reflection.

Another highlight of the visit is António Carneiro’s triptych “Life: Hope, Love, and Longing”, a key work of Portuguese Symbolist painting and a central piece in the Cupertino de Miranda Foundation collection. This oil-on-canvas triptych, painted between 1899 and 1901, consists of three panels titled Hope, Love, and Longing, in which figurative motifs symbolise profound existential situations and reflect the cycle of human life. Considered a singular work that broke with the conventions of Portuguese painting of its time, it invites viewers to intense contemplation, offering an unforgettable aesthetic and emotional experience that emphasises the poetic and symbolic dimension of Portuguese art at the dawn of the 20th century.

After a morning dedicated to art, enjoy a memorable lunch at Sara Barracoa restaurant, renowned for its authentic regional cuisine. Here, you can savour traditional dishes carefully prepared in a welcoming setting, providing the perfect pause between exhibitions and complementing the cultural experience with the genuine flavours of the region.
