Episode synopsis
António Machado joined the Museum's staff in 2015. Living in Amadora, in the suburbs of Lisbon, everyday he rediscovers the city not on his way to work, but through the 18th century painting "View of Lisbon". This surveillance guard doesn't really know why he loves this artwork; maybe it's the colours, the multitude of details, the wide dimension? On his work routine, conversations with the visitors fill his days the same way this painting fills his eyes.
About In Our Care. The Keeper's Choice.
Nine security guards from the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, in Lisbon, invite us to appreciate works of their choice from the Museum's permanent exhibition, in a presentation that crosses art, everyday life and biography.
