Through Bordalo Pinheiro's caustic view at the picturesque figure of Saint Anthony and the devotions and festivities associated with him, this visit provides a critical portrait of Portuguese society during the life of the famous Portuguese caricaturist and allows us to reflect on the society of today. Just like then, in times of crisis, it's always better to laugh than to cry!
