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 . Mas h indcios de que v疵ias outras obras v麥 do mesmo escultor. H tamb駑 nos afrescos do altar-mor do brasileiro Murillo La Greca (1899-1985)

Hi Ricardo.
Again, a beautiful, detailed image of the interiors, this time around with the ceiling more exposed than the side walls. Must say the Basilica looks pretty big and well built, resembles in many ways the old architecture of European style. TFS!!!
