This mural in Lisbon entitled "Lisbon Story" describes in humorous comic strip fashion the history of Lisbon from it's foundation till recent times.
Painted by comic strip illustrator Nuno Saraiva, the mural can be found on the Arch of Rua Norberto de Araujo, near the Portas do Sol (Sun gates) lookout.
I love the comic strip style!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, I'd never seen a mural in this style, but it's interesting.
DeleteGoodness that's a complicated one Sami, I bet that took the artist a bit of time to do.
ReplyDeleteIt must have taken a while Grace, it's quite unique though.
DeleteI've never seen one like this before. I really like his comic book style art and find it refreshing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. First time I see this style too.
DeleteI'm so impressed Sami, you must have taken 100's of great photos on your recent trip. Portugal must be a world leader in street art?!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wren. I too was surprised at the number of murals I found in Lisbon.
DeleteThat is a nice one, lots to look at in that passage.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne. It's great to look at all the images and figure out what happened through the centuries.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteHow much I love your Jacarandas here on your blog lay out!
And that mural by comic strip illustrator Nuno Saraiva, is educational and refreshing.
Happy weekend to you and hugs,
Mariette
Thank you Mariette. Right now Perth is full of blooming jacaranda trees, so I thought it would give the blog some colour! Have a great weekend too. My daughter has just arrived from Holland yesterday to spend 1 month with us, so we're having a wonderful time!
DeleteEnjoy both, your daughter from The Netherlands and the breathtaking Jacarandas. She knows at what time to come...
DeleteBig hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette.
