The next series of posts will be from the Sacred Art Museum in Funchal, which holds extensive collections relating to religious art. It’s housed in the former Bishop’s Palace, which is a suitably grand affair, and which has this rather impressive tiled installation on the upstairs balcony.

There are three panels which are titled ‘Faith, Hope and Charity’.

It’s decoratively beautiful.

It also offered views over Funchal and there is one of the cruise liners that flock to the city in the background. The weather was terrible and this was about the best visibility I had seen during the morning.

I’m sure that the sea would look beautiful if it was visible.
