This is a study for a painting ( 320x 140 cm ) evoking The Treaty of Tordesillas (1494),
praising the enterprising vision of two countries,who decide to discover the world, defying the
“fear” and the superstition of the Middle Ages, and being rewarded with the knowledge and the
wealth that are going to inaugurate modernity.The painting is part of an wider project portraying
general aspects of the Portuguese culture that shape and define its unique personality. A body of
work focused in exposing the common idiossincracies of a nation as proud to celebrate its glorious
past, as well as it´s ruined present!
