Braga Barroca

Representing the antithesis of Classicism, its predecessor, the Baroque is presented, roughly speaking, as untimely, exuberant and emotional, and was essentially reflected in the architecture, painting and sculpture of the period.
Braga became the epicenter of Baroque manifestations in Portugal in the 17th/18th centuries, with D. José de Bragança (brother of D. João V) and D. Rodrigo Moura Teles, and the artists André Soares, Marceliano de Araújo and Frei José Vilaça as the main protagonists.
