Photographer's Note
The Nossa Senhora de Penh (transl. Basilica of Our Lady of the Rock)or the Basilica da Penha is a Roman Catholic religious basilica located in the city of Recife,in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Belonging to the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, in the archdiocese of Olinda and Recife.
Unlike the Baroque style used in most of Recife's churches, the Basilica da Penha is of Renaissance Revival architecture and an architectural work of vast artistic merit both inside and outside. Unfortunately, most of the works do not have documentation indicating authorship, leaving a gap in the historical survey of the building. Among the few pieces of well-known authorship we find, in the altarpiece, the figures of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Anthony carved in marble in relief by Italian Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902) and low relief on the high altar. But there are indications that various other works come from the same sculptor. There are also on the high altar frescoes by Brazilian Murillo La Greca (1899-1985)

Ao contr疵io do estilo barroco usado na maioria das igrejas de Recife, a Baslica da Penha de arquitetura renascentista renascentista e uma obra arquitetnica de vasto m駻ito artstico, por dentro e por fora. Infelizmente, a maioria das obras n縊 possui documenta鈬o indicando autoria, deixando uma lacuna no levantamento histrico do edifcio. Entre as poucas pe軋s de autoria conhecida, encontramos no ret畸ulo as figuras de S縊 Francisco de Assis e Santo Antnio esculpidas em m疵more em relevo pelo italiano Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902) e baixo relevo no altar-mor .

Good day, Ricardo.
An intriguing note and an amazing interior of the Baslica makes your presentation very attractive for viewing. Intense, yet warm colours of the walls and ceiling look like well renovated recently. I always adore tall pillars in a Church, here they look very distinctive and give a greater sense of understanding the size of this particular place of worship. You did a good job on this matter, thanks for sharing.

Hello Ricardo,
You have made a fine photograph inside the basilica; the exposure is excellent, capturing the colours naturally and showing the features with perfect clarity.
The composition is very well chosen, too, so that the shot is almost symmetrical and converging linesact as a natural guide.
My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Bom dia Ricardo,
The pillars and high ceiling with the chandeliers that are well lit with outside light - are most imposing sight here.
Style is more from Italian design and colors in my opinion, anyway - beautiful.
My best regards,
Ike

Hi Ricardo,
The interior of this cathedral is fantastic. Good sharpness and well managed low lighting levels. I like the warm colour tones and repetition of the columns with their Corinthian capitals. Tfs!!
