Luís Gomes Tourinho

Brazilian painter Luís Gomes Tourinho left one striking work in this set: the oil-on-canvas Portrait of Marcos de Noronha e Brito, 8th Count of Arcos from 1837. That stiff-collared figure looks straight at you from another century. Tourinho’s brush kept the details sharp—lace cuffs, medal ribbons, the polished wood of the chair—so every thread and reflection feels real. If you want to see more portraits like this, tap into the same room and look for another 19th-century face.
