Guimarães
May–September 1982; exact days unknown
Held at the Museu de Alberto Sampaio in Guimarães from May to September 1982, this exhibition brought together António Vaz and other painters of his period in the city. The museum’s anniversary poster, preserved in the National Library of Portugal’s iconography collection, identifies the presentation as part of its cinquentenary programme. The national museum catalogue explicitly records the participation of Virgem com o Menino, inventory MAS P 7, an oil painting on chestnut wood dated around 1540 by the museum. The Virgin holds the Child above a parapet with a book, an apple and two birds; one bird carries the painter’s signature on a scroll. The same exhibition history is recorded for the anonymous panels Santa Catarina de Alexandria and Santa Apolónia, dated 1540–1550. The selected checklist currently links only Virgem com o Menino to its exact existing catalogue record. The original exhibition catalogue and the remaining objects have not been fully reconciled. The museum retains a scholarly question about whether the António Vaz responsible for this Guimarães panel was the same person as the painter of that name active in Viseu. That uncertainty is preserved; the exhibition does not resolve it. Exact opening and closing days are unknown.
