Epic and Tragic – Camões and the Romantics
Events
The writer Luís de Camões and some themes of his work "Os Lusíadas" were internationally disseminated, contextualized in a pre-romantic culture. The poet's own adventurous life becomes a literary and artistic motif.
There are several Portuguese creators, all living abroad, who celebrate Camões: Domingos Bomtempo, Almeida Garrett or Domingos Sequeira. In 2024, when the 500th anniversary of the birth of Luís de Camões (1524-1580) is celebrated, a set of works will be exhibited, curated by Alexandra Markl and Raquel Henriques da Silva, which evoke the context in which the poet was transformed into a mythical figure for Portuguese romanticism.
