Summary
[edit]Description19th century Monstrance once belonging to Infanta Benedita of Portugal, Centro de Apoio Social de Runa, Portugal.jpg |
English: This monumental monstrance was commissioned and probably designed by the princess D. Maria Francisca Benedita of Portugal between the late 18th and early 19th century, and offered to the Runa Military Invalids Hospital, an institution that she founded. It is made of silver gilt, diamonds, topazes, acquamarines, emeralds, chrysoberyls, and other gems, standing about 1,30 metres high and weighing almost 15 Kg. Nowadays still stands in the museum of the Centro de Apoio Social de Runa (former Military Invalids Hospital).
Português: Custódia monumental encomendada e possivelmente desenhada pela princesa D. Maria Francisca Benedita entre os finais do século XVIII e os inícios do XIX, que a ofereceu à sua grande obra de patronato, por ela fundada, o Hospital dos Inválidos Militares de Runa. É uma peça de enormes proporções, com 1,30 metros de altura, mais de 15 Kg de peso, executada em prata dourada, diamantes, topázios, esmeraldas, águas-marinhas, crisoberilos, entre outras pedras preciosas. Ainda hoje se encontra no mesmo edifício, actualmente chamado Centro de Apoio Social de Runa, numa área de museu criada com vários objectos relevantes, entre os quais, os oriundos do espólio pessoal da princesa. |
