Feast of St. Anthony

The Feast of St. Anthony is observed every year on June 13 to honor the life and work of St. Anthony of Padua, who accomplished many things during his short time in this world as a priest. He was revered by his contemporaries and noted for his powerful preaching, vast knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick. They made him one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history. His fame spread through Portuguese evangelization and he became the patron saint of Lisbon, Padua, and many other places in Portugal. St. Anthony is invoked and respected around the world as the patron saint for the recovery of lost items. He is credited with several miracles involving lost people, things, and even spiritual goods.

History of Feast of St. Anthony

St. Anthony of Padua was born Fernando Martins de Bulhões to a wealthy and prominent family in Lisbon, Portugal on August 15, 1195. His father, Martin de Bouillon, was a descendant of Godfrey de Bouillon, commander of the First Crusade, while his mother, Theresa Tavejra, was a descendant of the fourth king of Asturia, Froila I.

Anthony was educated at the Cathedral School of Saint Mary near his house, where his teachers suggested that he become a knight at the king’s court. However, his father believed Anthony was better suited to intellectual pursuits and wanted him to help manage the family’s estate and become a nobleman. To his father’s dismay, Anthony joined the Canons Regular of St. Augustine when he was 15 and entered St. Vincent’s convent of Lisbon in 1210. Anthony soon asked to be transferred to the Holy Cross Monastery in Coimbra where he spent eight years studying theology and was later ordained a priest. During this period, he befriended many friars following Francis of Assisi, who built an order of friars and traveled extensively, preaching to non-believers.

In 1220, he joined the Franciscan order inspired by five Fransicians who were martyred in Morocco. He, too, hoped to preach to Muslims and be martyred. On his way to Morocco, he became seriously ill and was forced to return home, but his ship back to Portugal was blown off course and finally landed in Sicily. Because of his deteriorating health, he was not allowed to pursue missionary work. Instead, he taught theology in Bologna, Italy; and at Montpellier, Toulouse, and Puy-en-Velay in southern France. He won great admiration as a preacher and was noted for his simple yet profound teaching of the Catholic faith. He died on his way to Padua, Italy on June 13 in 1231.

This is an imagen of María of Aragón, Queen of Portugal, from the Tríptico de Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia, Jan Provost, c. 1515. 

I presume you wish to hear my thoughts about this painting, since no question was written.

Despite Jan Provoost never provenly leaving Low Countries, surprisingly not so small amount of his art are on Iberian peninsula.

Some of them provenly there since not long after their making, presumably comissioned directly. Not really sure how that comission process exactly worked.

Probably the best quality photos I could find of it are from this webpage.

Which also sheds bit of light about its history.

This painting is believed to be comissioned by Nuno Fernandes Cardoso and his wife Leonor Dias in 1511 when they had ordered construction of Chapel called la Capilla de San Juan de Letrán including the triptych for its altar. Thus it is presumed the painting was comissioned between years 1512-1515, not long after.

I have some issues regarding the royals within.

Number 1 all photos ignore the fifth presumed member of royal family-The girl in red dress on right.

(and fact two more figures are partially hiden behind the altar.)

It is believed by some that from left to right these are Manuel I, Maria of Aragon-his wife, Isabella of Portugal-his eldest daughter, Eleanor of Viseu(Dowager Queen of Portugal-wife of his predecessor) and Beatrice of Portugal-his younger daughter.

Not sure about costumes of everybody, but presumed daughters are dressed in Netherlandish outfits.

While i cannot rule out he was sent some sketches, the faces of these women are consistent with generic figures from other paintings by same artist. With designs which he was reusing.

Thus even if identification as royals is correct, it is not likely for it to be true likeness. (However in some cases, the artists were chosen because their already existing work reminded people of their loved ones. )

But the question on my mind seeing this triptych is-Where the heck are his sons? The painting is believed to be made in betwen 1512-1515.

By this point Manuel and Maria had 3 daughters and 5 boys. People were sexist back then, so idea King Manuel got depicted with wifey and daughters only is cute...but unrealistic.

While we have 7 male figures on left, one is pope(on right), one is old man, then there is monk(infante Henry was cardinal), and 4 more figures, not all of them even showing full face. They are not at front, but at back. Like is it symbolical...or were those boys not important?

Secondly, why would every royal except Manuel be depicted in clothes better fitted for somebody of lesser status?

Another depiction of the same royal family by Netherlandish artist Colijn de Coter is called Fons Vitae, and there despite outfits being netherlandish at least they were what we would expect from depiction of royalty.

Ermine, cloth of gold, crimson also popular with plenty of royals. But here only Manuel wears such suptuous robes.

(the other male with fur-that is not ermine, they specifically sewn those so that the tails appeared regularly.)

Thus i fear, it might be the case that Manuel is the sole royal depicted.

And that we have pope and king in central positions beneath Virgin Mary and people on sides will be the patrons and the family.

Possibly people who had the painting comissioned. Which would mean the grey-haired man in red and black is ment to represent Nuno Fernandes Cardoso(with his male relatives behind him).

And his wife Leonor Dias, is represented by either the woman in green or the woman in black with white headwear-which is also positioned probably the most at front(with the female relatives behind her.)

Thus in my opinion it could be the case of wrong identification, based upon proximity to the figure of the king and the fact the woman has golden hair (or at least i think she might have) and ribbon on upper part of forehead is bit similiar to how cofia the tranzado was worn with ribbon across forehead.

But even if i was wrong about this female not being ment to represent Maria, the face matches rest of generic saints by this artist. (for example the one on left)

Sorry. This is pretty face, but likely not Maria's.

How about CURSED portuguese history facts?

Holy shit I don't know who sent me this but it accidentally got burried under mounds of under asks and I think it's been sitting in my inbox for a year

I feel fully armed for a few cursed facts now given my job lmfao

Here we go

1. The Ginjinha of Lisbon (OF LISBON, not Óbidos) was initially created as a cough medicine. Recomended dose? 6 glasses a day. Ginjinha has around 23% of alcohol. Yeah that sure straightened you up really well (if you look at the posters they have on both doors, the door to the left actually says the recomended dose)

2. During World War II, Lisbon received thousands of jewish refugees. Despite the war, the fact remained that these people came from, compared to our backwards provincial country, progressive places. Do you know what the most shocking thing for lisboners were? Jewish women (who, again, were pretty progressive in comparison) were seen... At cafés. Hordes of men would actually gather around these women who were dead ass just having lunch at a café because portuguese women did not go to cafés alone, as it was considered indicent and a place jsut for men. This was between 1932-1945. There’s a super interesting account of a rare case of a Jewish family that actually stayed here, and the lady describes how she went out for lunch with her mother. Suddenly, the daughter says to her mother “I think we’re starting a revolution” and she turns and sees a row of men just fucking staring at them with their jaws on the floor (source: Lisboa Judaica the book, forgot the name of the author, but it’s Francisco something).

3. Praça do Municipio is where City Hall is located. It’s a late neo-classical building that, when it was unveiled, caused a huge scandal. If you look up at the building's pediment, you will see a bas-relief with several human figures. At the centre, there is a man with his whole dick out. Which, hey, that’s standard in classical imagery, the whole nudity standing for perfection if you follow the Roman canon of art and etc. But ah, my friend, this is Portugal in the 19th century, and my God, were we a backwards country, so this is exactly what generated a HUGE scandal. You see, the problem was WOMEN. They could not possibly see this dick. So, women were forced to cover their eyes when they crossed that square. It became such a scandalous thing, one guy actually set up stand selling fans and veils for women so they could cover their eyes and cross the square without having to look at this dude's genitals. Mind you, they're hard to spot. Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro did a caricature of the event. I can't find it online but I saw it in the book I am about to give you as a source: Lisboa Desconhecida e Insólita, by Anísio Franco.

4. John VI used to hide chicken legs inside his pockets out of fear of being poisoned. He died of poison.

5. Legend says when the statue of José I was unveiled, the one in Praça do Comércio, the queen allegedly said "he looks so ugly". Allegedly, that is why he is wearing a helmet. Yes, the sculptor did nothing about the ugliness, just sort of tried to disguise it. Reminding you that this is a legend. As far as I am aware, the statue was always made with the helmet, but I honestly prefer this version, so that’s the one I tell on my tours lmfao

6. In the 16th century, Manuel I loved collecting animals he knew nothing about, and then gift them to the Pope. We know about the rhinoceros already, which ended up being painted by Dürer, but did you know he also got an elephant? One day, though, he decided it would be a great ideal to have the rhinoceros and the elephant fight each other. He set up an arena in Praça do Comércio. People went buckwild for this. It was like WWE for them. And when the two animals confronted each other.... Nothing happened. Turns out elephants are not really made to fight and the two animals didn't really give a shit about each other. However, elephants are easily spooked, and with a sudden movement from the rhinoceros, that's what happened. The elephant took off from the arena and ran across the entire city back to his caretaker.... And miraculously, did not stomp a single person. The Rhinoceros was declared a winner but only because the elephant quit. People were a little disappointed at this, and ironically enough, it’s the elephant that’s reminded (he had a name but I forgot). Source: another ANísio Franco book, called something like Passeios por Lisboa, I forgot I’m sorry.

7. When the French invaded our country, they found John II's tomb... And beheaded him. No real reason, I guess. The body was put back together and properly buried again by some nuns who kind of felt bad about it.

8. This one is not funny at all. But I'll say this: don't ever look into the Braganza's involvement in slavery if you want to preserve your sanity. It's some of the most horrid shit you'll come across.

EDIT: a while ago I mentioned this in another context, and someone asked for a source. I remember now I said I needed to look it up but, as ever, I forgot. With all my due apologies, here it is: https://expresso.pt/sociedade/2015-12-08-O-segredo-dos-escravos-reprodutores

9. The Marquis of Pombal once stole the waters of Sintra, leaving the people with ONE public fountain in butt fuck nowhere. I've talked about this one on here before but it shows how fucking insane the man was.

10. The expression "ficar a ver navios", which means "to stand by watching the ships pass", is used when someone is waiting for something that will not happen (like, if someone is stood up on a date, you say they stayed there watching the ships pass). It actually comes from the expulsion of the jews in 1497. Manuel I promised jewish people who wished to leave ships to board and go to North Africa. However, he also knew, because he was a fucking idiot but not entirely stupid, that if he expelled the jews, the country's economy would basically collapse, because jewish people held a GREAT number of businesses in not just Lisbon, but major metropolitan centres. So, this was a lie. The ships he promised never came. For months, jewish people went to the Santa Catarina hill every day to look out for ships that would let them board and leave the country. The ships never came, thus, they were "watching the ships pass", but none of them stopping.

Okay this is all I can think of A YEAR LATER LOL

On a 2002 board book about Brazil (3)

“Brazil’s most famous sculpture is also one of the world’s most remarkable artists. Antônio Francisco Lisboa, born around 1740, became known as Aleijadinho, ‘the little cripple.’

“Aleijadinho was struck by an unconfirmed disease—perhaps leprosy or arthritis—in the prime of his life. The disease paralyzed his hands, but not his passion and determination. He tied a hammer and a chisel to his wrists and continued to work.

“Aleijadinho amazingly managed to complete 12 remarkable life-sized soapstone statues of Old Testament biblical prophets and the 66 woodcarvings that make up the Stations of the Cross in the town of Congonhas do Campo near Belo Horizonte.

“…His masterpieces are considered among the finest of baroque art anywhere in the world. He learned about the European baroque style brown books and missionaries.

“Along with his sculptures, Aleijadinho designed many beautiful churches, each with trademark large, rounded bell towers, altars featuring ornate engravings, and reliefs of angels and saints extending out of ceilings. Several of these churches stand in various cities around the state of Minas Gerais. Two examples are Our Lady of Mount Carmo Church and the São Francisco Chapel. These two churches represent the best of baroque art in Brazil and are considered among the world’s finest. Both of them are found in the historical town of Ouro Prêto, which has been declared a World Cultural Monument by the United Nations.

“Two blocks from the São Francisco Chapel is the town’s monument to Aleijadinho, with his remains buried beneath a marker in a museum church. Some of his wood and soapstone carvings, documents about his career, and the illustrated Bibles he used to study are also displayed in the galleries of the church.”

St Anthony's Church, Lisbon 

The Church of Saint Anthony of Lisbon (Portuguese: Igreja de Santo António de Lisboa) is a Roman Catholic church located in Lisbon, Portugal. It is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Lisbon (also known in the Christian world as Saint Anthony of Padua). According to tradition, the church was built on the site where the saint was born, in 1195. The church is classified as a National Monument.

Fernando de Bulhões (known as Saint Anthony) was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, the son of a wealthy family. In 1220, while studying in Coimbra, he entered the Franciscan Order, adopting the name António. His missionary travels would lead him to Italy, where he settled in Padua. Due to his immense popularity, he was canonised less than a year after his death, in 1232.

The site of the family house where Fernando was born, located very close to Lisbon Cathedral, was turned into a small chapel in the 15th century. This early building, from which nothing remains, was rebuilt in the early 16th century, during the reign of King Manuel I. The Lisbon Senate was located on a house just beside the chapel. A religious brotherhood (Irmandade de Santo António) dedicated to the saint was founded in the 16th century.

In 1730, under King John V, the church was rebuilt and redecorated. In the 1755 Lisbon earthquake the Santo António Church was destroyed, with only the main chapel left standing. It was fully rebuilt after 1767 to a Baroque-Rococo design by architect Mateus Vicente de Oliveira. This is the church that can be visited today.

Since 1755, a procession leaves the church every June 13, passes by Lisbon Cathedral, and goes through the slopes of Alfama neighbourhood, located nearby. The 13th of June is Saint Anthony's day and is one of the "Popular Saint Festivities" celebrated by Lisbon. During the morning, special bread is given to the oldest women of each family.

On May 12, 1982, Pope John Paul II visited the church. He inaugurated a statue of Saint Anthony (by sculptor Soares Branco) in the square in front of the church and prayed in the crypt, which marks the spot where the saint was born.

Muse Performs At Rock In Rio in Lisbon

El músico ha ocupado más de 50 instrumentos desde la formación de su banda. Entre ellos, la firma Manson Guitar Works se ha mantenido como un actor protagónico en la creación de ambientes espaciales, los cuales ya son un sello distintivo de los británicos.

En junio de 2019, el directorio de Manson Guitar Works anunció que Matt Bellamy se convirtió en el nuevo accionista mayoritario de la empresa. Tal acto no pareció ser la respuesta a un simple fin económico, sino que más bien reflejó la fidelidad que el músico ha mantenido con la marca por 20 años.

Su primer acercamiento con los instrumentos de la firma —que ya había construido modelos para Jimmy Page y John Paul Jones de Led Zeppelin— fue durante la época de Origin of Symmetry (2001), un álbum que el periodista Roger Morton de la revista NME calificó como "la pesadilla hermosa de la banda más distorsionada e intensa de Gran Bretaña". En este segundo lanzamiento de estudio —el primero fue Showbiz (1999)— abundan los sonidos electrónicos que más tarde se convertirían en un sello distintivo de la agrupación inglesa.

Durante la gira de promoción del álbum en 2001 y 2002, el músico ocupó cuatro instrumentos de la marca. La primera que Hugh Manson construyó para el artista fue la Delorean, una guitarra que recibe su nombre en alusión a la máquina del tiempo que Marty McFly ocupó en Back to the Future (1985). Según una entrevista que el fabricante dio a Australian Guitar Magazine, Bellamy quería un instrumento que tuviera el sonido de las cápsulas P-90 de Gibson, pero con su forma inspirada en una Fender Telecaster. Esa búsqueda por un modelo único llevó a que Manson construyera el cuerpo en acabado de aluminio y a pesar de que esta fue retirada de los conciertos en el tour de Black Holes and Revelations (2006), durante 2011 se presentó en vivo con una nueva versión del instrumento.

Manson construyó la Laser con las mismas características técnicas que la Delorean, pero con la diferencia de que el acabado está compuesto por pedazos de vidrio quebrado que dejan entrever luces rojas, las cuales aumentan su intensidad a medida que se toca más fuerte. El inglés la ocupó en vivo por última vez el 6 de agosto de 2007 en el Madison Square Garden de New York, durante el Black Holes and Revelations Tour.

La 007 fue la primera guitarra que Manson construyó con efectos incorporados, la cual tiene en su interior los circuitos de un Zvex Fuzz Factory y un Wah Probe de la misma marca. Este último funciona a través de una placa en el costado superior derecho del cuerpo, la cual le permite manejar la intensidad del filtro. Asimismo, el instrumento tiene una pieza lineal con la que puede manipular un Digitech Whammy, a través de un sistema MIDI que envía los datos. De esta manera, el músico puede activar diferentes sonidos de manera dinámica y accesible, es decir, sin pisar esos efectos específicos en formato pedal. Además, cuenta con un Fernandes Sustainer junto a la cápsula Seymour Duncan Hot P90 del cuello, el cual le permite mantener el sonido de las notas de manera indefinida (este se convirtió en un elemento vital en la mayoría de sus guitarras). En una entrevista a Guitar Player en julio de 2010, Bellamy expresó que ya no suele ocuparla en conciertos, debido a que es "extremadamente pesada".

Antes de que Hugh Manson fabricara los instrumentos con las especificaciones del artista, Bellamy compró de segunda mano una guitarra de siete cuerdas para interpretar "Citizen Erased", canción que requiere la afinación AADDGBE.
