EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the terrace of the Hermitage of Bom Jesus de Matozinhos in Congonhas do Campo, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Constructed between 1800 and 1805, this architectural and artistic masterpiece is a testament to the Baroque period in Brazil. The terrace, adorned with intricately carved sculptures, is home to the Prophets, a series of twelve figures sculpted by the renowned Brazilian artist, Antonio Francisco Lisboa, also known as Aleijadinho. Born in 1738, Aleijadinho was a Portuguese-Brazilian sculptor who is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Brazilian art. His unique style, characterized by its expressive realism and intricate detail, is on full display in these magnificent sculptures. The Prophets are depicted in various poses, each with an intense and emotive expression, capturing the essence of their biblical stories. The terrace, with its vibrant colors and ornate decorations, serves as the perfect backdrop for these awe-inspiring sculptures. The play of light and shadow on the terrace adds to the overall effect, creating a sense of drama and mystery. The Hermitage of Bom Jesus de Matozinhos, with its stunning terrace and the Prophets sculptures, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Brazil and the Baroque art movement.
