On my way to York via Porto and Liverpool - Porto, Soares dos Reis Museum - Paintings by Jorge de Oliveira, Augusto Gomes, Julio Resende, Lagoa Rodrigues, Sarah Afonso, Dordio Gomes, Abel Salazar, José Tagarro, Guilherme Camarinha, Dominguez Alvarez and Eduardo Viana; sculptures by Lagoa Rodrigues and Canto da Maia - The 4th of September 2016

When I walked into the Museum Soares dos Reis I wasn't aware I'd be spending the next three hours in its premises though I had some high expectations as to the artistic works being exhibited.
















The first gallery had some oil paintings on display by Portuguese artists I had never heard of, one of them being Jorge Oliveira - Anguish and the days and Submersed Quietness (to be seen underneath on the left and right respectively).
