The Igreja de São Bartolomeu de Vila Viçosa was founded in 1636 as the church of the Jesuit College of São João Evangelista, which had been active since the second half of the 16th century. The façade was finished in 1698, but work was still underway in 1759. The towers remain unfinished.

"The Fall of Man," Cornelis Corneliszoon van Haarlem, 1592.

Van Haarlem (1562-1638) was a painter of the Dutch Golden Age, a leader of the Northern Mannerist style, and an important precursor to Frans Hals in the realm of portraiture.

He started off as a painter of mythological subjects, with very Italian-inspired and fairly artificial styles, but later came to embrace a more Realist style favored in the Netherlands. He studied in France but was born in and spent his adult life in the city of Haarlem, where he became the official city painter, with a number of official commissions. He also was a noted portraitist, becoming an important influence on later painters, although his history, Biblical, and mythical scenes sometimes seem more like chances to paint naked bodies than anything else. Lots of bare limbs, buttocks thrust at the viewer, people being unclad for the sake of being unclad, to the point that the scene and its meaning get lost in all the flesh. I guess that's the Mannerist style for you...

From the RIjksmuseum, Amsterdam.
