Lateral door from the S. Julião church in Setúbal.
There are many years that the artisan that is sat down in the door has his place there (I remember seeing him in the same place when I was little) and that's why I have decided by the black and white.
The church of S. Julião founded in the XIII century but which underwent remodelling in the Manueline period. Two notable portals, the main one and the lateral demonstrate typical decoration of the time. Following the earthquake, the façade was altered. The most obvious traces of this are the altar piece and the XVIII century tiles. The tiles were paid for by the fishermen of Setúbal and represent the life of S. Julião.
In architecture, manueline is the sumptuous, composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation of the early 16th century, incorporating maritime elements and discoveries brought from the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral. The style synthesizes aspects of gothic architecture with Spanish, Italian, and Flemish elements. The style was named after King Manuel I of Portugal (reigned from 1495 to 1521).
The Chapter House of the Convent of Christ at Tomar, Portugal (early 16th century), with its large-scale windows surrounded with sculptured organic and twisted rope forms, is the major monument of the manueline style. Other major manueline monuments include the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower in Lisbon. |
