Revealing the “complete Medina”, not just the painter, his talent and artistic work, but the beautiful details that allow us to get to know the man himself, his humanity and perspective on life, which is frequently addressed in comments by those who studied his works, and even by some of those he painted the portraits of.

This is a general overview of the book “Henrique Medina – Talent, Art, Beauty”, which will be presented today at 9:30 p.m., in the Medina Museum.

In an interview with the newspaper Diário do Minho, canon José Paulo Abreu, director of the Pius XII Museum and the Medina Museum, as well as coordinator of this book, revealed some behind-the-scenes details from its creation, specifically concerning the necessary data collection, that “began a long while ago”.
