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.
