Appreciating the artworks of Bordalo pinheiro
Traveling Lisbon, I am sure you saw copies of Bordalo pinheiro's artworks. Especially his sardinhas. Museu Bordalo Pinheiro is a very small place but its google rating is 4.5. Its location is very close to Pimenta Museum and its garden. So visiting those two places together is a win-win. Featuring nature and characters from fables, his artworks take you to a new realm of possibilities. Very emblematic. You can see these sardines all over Lisbon. His whimsical, quirky works remind me of those by Gaudi. Pinheiro (1846-1905) and Gaudi (1852-1926) have something in common. Especially when you see his copies of works placed inside the garden of Pimenta Palace, you will understand what I am talking about.
