“Those who by valiant deeds are freed from the law of death,” whispered a voice behind you. Turn around and face the Se vão da lei da morte libertando Sculpture. This striking work of art, crafted from iron, marble, metal, plastic, and stone, draws its inspiration from a powerful line in Portugal’s national epic, “Os Lusíadas”. Written by Luís Vaz de Camões, the poem celebrates the glorious history of the Portuguese people, particularly their daring voyages during the Age of Discovery. This sculpture, standing before you, embodies that spirit of adventure and resilience. The artists, Luís Vieira Baptista, Júlio Quaresma, and Velhô, known as the “Grupo Visionista”, created this piece for the 1st Visionist Exhibition of Plastic Arts in 1991. Imagine the impact this piece had when it was first unveiled at the Convento das Bernardas. The Se vão da lei da morte libertando Sculpture is more than just a monument. It’s a testament to human ambition, the pursuit of glory, and the enduring legacy of those who dared to challenge the boundaries of the known world. As you contemplate this evocative artwork, remember the words of Camões and the indomitable spirit of the Portuguese explorers.
