Thank you for your visit. Enjoy a great and if possible, sunny day.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung

Je vous le souhaite bon et en paix. Cargaleiro

Azulejos.

Cargaleiro.

A staircase leads to the top of the garden. This plan is a permanent allusion to water and its purifying power. Moses over the waterfall spouting for the big tank. The tank stored the water that was indispensable for the irrigation of the garden, and still served as a gift from the bishops, who had a canoe and a boat in it. Santa Ana and Samaritana flank the waterfall; Mary Magdalene - patroness of the gardeners - above the manure gate that formerly gave to one of the olive groves of the palace. Said he (Pharaoh), "If you do take a god besides me I will surely place you among the prisoners."

Arranged in the manner of a staircase, the apostles and kings of Portugal are represented up to D. José I. On the upper skid there are statues depicting the Old Testament and the symbolism of water as a purifying element. Garden of the Archbishops in Castelo Branco.

To all my friends and to all of you, dear visitors, HFF.

PIP please. Manuel Cargaleiro, (born 1927 in Vila Velha de Ródão), is a Portuguese artist who creates ceramic and painting. He produced earthenware squares, the Portuguese Azulejo, an art that still has its importance in Portugal, and had been brought by the Arabs to the Iberian peninsula. He settled in France in 1957, a country which became his home. He was influenced by artists from the École de Paris, such as Delaunay, Ernst, Vasarely and Klee. His compositions are based on geometrical modules and primary colors, suggesting movement in space. Manuel Cargaleiro has received awards and decorations in Portugal, France and Italy. In 1995 the artist created frescos for the subway station Champs-Elysées Clémenceau in Paris. He also worked for the Museum Manuel Cargaleiro in Vietri sul Mare. He received recognition and honor both in France and in his native Portugal. In 2004, the inauguration of the Foundation-Museum Manuel Cargaleiro, Museum Manuel Cargaleiro took place, to which the artist made donations of works. This place is an important center for the art of ceramics. Cargaleiro lives and works in Paris.
