Painéis
de São Vicente
Polytriptych
of St. Vincent
National Museum of Ancient Art - Lisbon
Nuno Gonçalves
, Nuño
(active 1450-71). Portuguese painter, recorded in 1463
as court painter to Alfonso V (1437-81). No works certainly by
his hand survive,
but there is a strong circumstantial evidence that he was
responsible
for the St Vincent polyptych (Lisbon Museum, c.1460-70),
the outstanding Portuguese painting of the 15th century.
The style is rather dry, but powerfully realistic, and the
polyptych
contains a superb gallery of highly individualized portraits of
members of the court,
including a presumed self-portrait. There are affinities with
contemporary Burgundian and Flemish art,
especially the
work of Bouts.
Nuno Gonçalves
is one of the 33 figures on the Padrão dos Descobrimentos in
Lisbon.
Nuno Gonçalves is the third
lowest figure at the right, west side of the monument.
