Description
«Published in sequence of the exhibition “Icon — Beauty and Mystery”, which was open to the public at the Sacred Art Museum of Funchal, this book reproduces and contextualizes the beautiful works of that exhibition, gathered for many years by the bishop emeritus of Funchal D. Teodoro de Faria. And it is part of, according to João Henrique Silva, the director of the museum, “an evangelization strategy that works with human mediations and that seeks a fruitful articulation between art, faith and culture, offering readers time for reflection and the silence that only the contemplation of Beauty that does not die can make it redemptive. After all, that is the purpose of images, or rather icons: by contemplating the visible, we open ourselves to the mystery of the Invisible”. »

€25,00«The Processional Cross of the Cathedral of Funchal, a truly remarkable work of art, both nationally and internationally, was a gift from King Manuel to this Cathedral. But the identity of the artist who performed the piece remained unknown over the centuries.
This book presents a research effort over the last 15 years to find the name of this artist. Careful studies were carried out in national and international museums and libraries, examining thousands of documents and hundreds of writings. The elements obtained brought novelties that allow us to base suggestions for the authorship of this splendid piece of silversmithery, which honors the city of Funchal, Madeira and the whole of Portugal. »
