Atelier-Museu Antonio Duarte

About

The António Duarte Atelier-Museum (1912-1998) was inaugurated in 1985 after donation of the master-sculptor's art collection to his hometown of Caldas da Rainha. The initial idea of endowing the building with na atelier was designed to allow the authors to develop artistic projects in parallel with the museum mission. We can find a large part of his sculptural production, from public sculptures (mainly sketches, mockup and models), which are best-known expression of his work, to a more intimate and personal register - a nucleus of Free Creation. na interesting nucleus of Sacred Art can also be appreciated, consisting mainly of religious sculptures, from the High Middle Ages to the Baroque period, which illustrate the taste of the collector and his predilection for th figuration of Christ.
