Saint Mary Church of Óbidos

Saint Mary Church of Óbidos by Fr Antunes.
On Explore #90 em 12.1.2008

Igreja de Santa Maria de Óbidos

Verdadeira obra-prima, este templo é dos mais extraordinariamente belos do Oeste e de Portugal. Supõe-se que remontará aos tempos da ocupação muçulmana, tendo sido reedificado no período renascentista.

Deste monumento, diz José Saramago: “A Igreja de Santa Maria é, toda ela, uma preciosidade. É-o imediatamente na proporção geral da frontaria, no delicado portal renascentista, na robusta e sóbria torre sineira. E torna a sê-lo lá dentro nas magníficas decorações do tecto, festa dos olhos que não se cansam de percorrer volutas, medalhões e mais elementos, onde não faltam figuras enigmáticas e pouco canónicas; é-o também no túmulo do Alcaide mor de Óbidos e de sua mulher, obra atribuída ao fertilíssimo Nicolau de Chanterenne e que é sem dúvida do mais belo do que o renascimento produziu; é-o igualmente pelas pinturas de Josefa de Ayala [Josefa d’Óbidos] (…)”

Saint's Mary church of Óbidos


True masterpiece, this temple is one of the more extraordinarily beautiful of the West and of Portugal. It is supposed what will remount at the times of the Muslim occupation, having been rebuilt in the "Renaissance" period.

Of this monument, says José Saramago: " The Saint's Mary Church is, all links, a preciousness. is it immediately in the general proportion of the front, in the delicate doorway, in the robust and sober tower equipped with bells. And return it being there inside in the magnificent decorations of the ceiling, it celebrates of the eyes that are not tired of going through volutes, medallions and any more elements, where enigmatic and not much canonical figures are not lacking; is it also in the tomb of the "Alcaide mor" of Óbidos and of his woman, work attributed to Nicolas of Chanterenne and what is undoubtedly of the most beautiful of which the rebirth produced; is it equally for the paintings of Josefa de Ayala [Josefa d'Óbidos] (…) ”
