Photographer's Note
The Nossa Senhora de Penh (transl. Basilica of Our Lady of the Rock)or the Basilica da Penha is a Roman Catholic religious basilica located in the city of Recife,in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Belonging to the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, in the archdiocese of Olinda and Recife.
Unlike the Baroque style used in most of Recife's churches, the Basilica da Penha is of Renaissance Revival architecture and an architectural work of vast artistic merit both inside and outside. Unfortunately, most of the works do not have documentation indicating authorship, leaving a gap in the historical survey of the building. Among the few pieces of well-known authorship we find, in the altarpiece, the figures of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Anthony carved in marble in relief by Italian Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902) and low relief on the high altar. But there are indications that various other works come from the same sculptor. There are also on the high altar frescoes by Brazilian Murillo La Greca (1899-1985)
A Nossa Senhora de Penh (trad. Basílica de Nossa Senhora da Rocha) ou a Basílica da Penha é uma basílica religiosa católica romana localizada na cidade de Recife, no estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Pertencente à Ordem dos Frades Menores Capuchinhos, na arquidiocese de Olinda e Recife.
Ao contrário do estilo barroco usado na maioria das igrejas de Recife, a Basílica da Penha é de arquitetura renascentista renascentista e uma obra arquitetônica de vasto mérito artístico, por dentro e por fora. Infelizmente, a maioria das obras não possui documentação indicando autoria, deixando uma lacuna no levantamento histórico do edifício. Entre as poucas peças de autoria conhecida, encontramos no retábulo as figuras de São Francisco de Assis e Santo Antônio esculpidas em mármore em relevo pelo italiano Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902) e baixo relevo no altar-mor . Mas há indícios de que várias outras obras vêm do mesmo escultor. Há também nos afrescos do altar-mor do brasileiro Murillo La Greca (1899-1985)

Hi Ricardo.
Again, a beautiful, detailed image of the interiors, this time around with the ceiling more exposed than the side walls. Must say the Basilica looks pretty big and well built, resembles in many ways the old architecture of European style. TFS!!!
