Description
Dawn in Lisbon watercolor painting about the Cristo Rei and the 25 de Abril Bridge before sunrise.
Cristo Rei is one of Lisbon’s most iconic monuments dates from the 1950s. The statue of Christ stands high above the southern banks of the Tejo Estuary, and depicts Christ with arms raised, blessing the city, which has many similarities to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio.
Since its consecration in 1959 Cristo Rei has been an important Portuguese pilgrim destination and today is a major religious centre for the diocese of Setubal.
25 Abril Bridge is one of the beautiful constructions of Portugal, which connects the capital to the municipality of Almada on the south part of the Tagus River. This beautiful bridge is often compared to the Golden Gate bridge, as they are both suspension bridges and has the same red color, and was build by the same American company which build the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The Bridge was completed in 1966 and was named as Ponte Salazar after the dictator, but soon after the Revolution was renamed to Ponte 25 de Abril.
It has a total lenght of 2277m, the upper deck carries 6 car lanes, and also a train platform was added in 1999.
The bridge is a distinctive landmark of Portugal and crossing the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge makes for a fantastic entrance to Lisbon.
Original painting sold from my Karavella Atelier Etsy shop, Fine Art Prints available.
