Description
Moliceiro Boats in Aveiro Portugal, original handmade watercolour painting by Dora Hathazi Mendes.
Aveiro is also called as the Portuguese Venice, a beautiful place at the west coast of Portugal, a maritime city with water in its soul.
The cityscape is divided by canals, set along a lagoon called Ria de Aveiro. The gondola style traditional painted boats of Aveiro called Moliceiros , they were used originally to harvest algae, which were used as fertiliser in the agriculture, now are tourist vessels. The making of these boats were passed from generation to generations, they are hand painted, many times with humorous erotic scenes, which can cause giggles to those who give attention to the details.
On a tour with these boats, you can admire the Art Nouveau style houses painted for pastel colours along the quays in the Rossio district.
On my painting a pair of vibrantly decorated gondola style Moliceiros boats are gently bobbing in the waters of the Ria de Aveiro canal, set against a backdrop of quaint buildings under a clear blue sky. The fine detail on the boats reflects a rich cultural heritage, inviting viewers into a serene, picturesque waterfront scene reminiscent of Aveiro.
