The Monument to Our Mother
Earlier this week I showed you The Scream, a very nice and original sculpture found in the city of Maia. This time, I bring you another sculpture, located on the other side of the building, just 300 meters away from the first one.
O Monumento à Nossa Mãe (The Monument to Our Mother) is a sculpture composed by a feminine figure and two children. The three figures were cast in brass, standing over a brass platform, and the entire structure is raised by a stone plinth.
This sculpture is a much more traditional sculpture than The Scream, as it was built in the 1980's when realism was the usual standard of public statues and sculptures.
The sweetness and empathy highlighted on the faces and eyes of the three figures, transmit a sense of tranquillity and humility, which is enhanced by their simple and poor vests.
O Monumento à Nossa Mãe (The Monument to Our Mother) was built in 1985 and its author is José Lamas.
