EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate tile panel titled "Singerie, the marriage of the hens" created by the Portuguese School in the 17th century. The panel depicts a whimsical scene from Portuguese folklore, known as "The Chickens Wedding" which takes place on an old farm in Cadriceira, Turcifal, Torres Vedras. In this lively composition, anthropomorphized animals take center stage as they participate in a joyous celebration. A hen bride and groom stand elegantly at the forefront while surrounded by a vibrant orchestra of musicians playing various musical instruments. A monkey conductor energetically leads this animal ensemble with great enthusiasm. The attention to detail is remarkable as each character exudes personality and charm. From horses pulling carriages to elephants gracefully coupling together, every element contributes to creating a harmonious atmosphere filled with color and life. This tile panel is housed at Museo Nacional del Azulejo in Lisbon and serves as a testament to Portugal's rich artistic heritage. It not only showcases their mastery of azulejo art but also highlights their fondness for storytelling through visual narratives. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate this historical masterpiece even from afar. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of the enduring power of artistry and imagination across centuries.
