"Vicente: A Journey Through Time and Cultures" Step into the world of Vicente, a name that echoes through history. From Raimundi's Antiphonary in the 16th century to Alban's depiction of a Yumbo Indian carrying, this name has witnessed diverse artistic expressions. Traveling to San Nicolas - San Vicente in Cape Verde, Africa, we discover its rich cultural heritage. The Gate of San Vicente, crafted by Gines Andres de Aguirre in 1785, stands as a testament to the architectural marvels of the past. But it is not just about structures; it is also about exploration. Join Vicente Lunardi on his balloon test flight and ascent in the late 18th century. His daring spirit took him higher than ever before, defying gravity and inspiring awe. In another era entirely, Ferdinand VII donned the Habit of the Order of Charles III with pride. This regal image reminds us of Spain's historical significance and royal traditions. Artistic brilliance knows no bounds when Juan de Herrera enters the scene. With Urrabieta capturing his portrait perfectly, Herrera's genius shines through time as an architect who left an indelible mark on Spanish culture. The turbulent times during Spain's Civil War are not forgotten either. Els caiguts memorializes those who fell during this period while Trabajadores. Captures workers' resilience amidst chaos. Finally, we journey to Sao Vicente in Cape Verde once again but from a different perspective - two islanders embracing their roots and celebrating their shared identity. Vicente encompasses centuries worth of stories - tales woven together by artistry, exploration, architecture, royalty, resilience, and cultural diversity.
