On Saturday 14 November, in the year that marks 400 years since Bartolomeu do Quental was born, researcher Pedro Pascoal de Melo speaks at the Museu de Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira about a little-known portrait of the São Miguel-born religious figure. The small oil on copper, inscribed Vera effigies and giving his age as 72, belongs to the museum. The talk examines its materials and iconography, sets it beside other portraits of him, and asks how the image shaped his reputation for holiness. Entry is free.

Practical information

The museum is in central Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira, walkable from the old town and the marina; parking in the historic centre is scarce. No start time is given, so check locally.
