Pedro Cabrita Reis – “without sorrow of heart”
Nearly 200 unseen paintings, drawings and sculptures made for MAAT's Oval Gallery, in which one of Portugal's best-known artists takes on the masters of post-Renaissance art.
More in Lisbon
In Ecce Homo, a painting from 2025, Pedro Cabrita Reis puts himself in the place of Christ as he is presented to the crowd. The Lisbon-born artist made nearly 200 works for this show in 2025 and 2026, and none has been seen before.
They fill MAAT's Oval Gallery: paintings, drawings, sculptures and collages that take on Western art from the Renaissance to modernism. There is a reworked Pietà, monumental red canvases of Adam and Eve, drawings that refer to Rodin, and Nymphaea Redux, a panoramic sequence of 28 paintings inspired by Monet. Twenty-eight paintings in one sequence is more commitment than your camera roll of the same Tagus sunset from tram 15E.
Entry is €16, or €12 for residents in Portugal, and MAAT is closed on Tuesdays. Guided tours run throughout, and a PDF guide is on MAAT's site.
