Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi
- Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi
Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi is a Baroque church in Rome.
The national church of the Portuguese people was designed by Martino Longhi the Younger (1638), Carlo Rainaldi (1657), and finally by Cristoforo Schor (1697), replacing a 15th century church built under the initial patronage of Cardinal Antão Martins de Chaves. The ribbed dome (1674-76) was designed by Rainaldi.
The roof is stuccoed by Pompeo Gentile and frescoed by Salvatore Nobili. In the first chapel, the neoclassic monument to "Alexandre de Sousa" was sculpted by Antonio Canova in 1808; the second chapel has a "Baptism of Christ" by Giacinto Calandrucci, and a "Circumcision of John the Baptist" by Nicolas Lorrain. A second monument in the chapel is also by Calandrucci.
The main altar has an "Apparition of the Virgin". Another chapel includes a funerary monument to ambassador Manuel Pereira de Sampaio by Pietro Bracci from 1750. The second chapel has three artworks by Lorrain: a "Nativity", "Adoration by the Magi", and "Repose in Egypt". The first chapel on the left has an altarpiece of "Madonna with child and Saints Antonio of Padua and Francis" by Antoniazzo Romano.
