Résumé
"Following the identification of an unusual 16th century painting forgotten until recently in a chapel in Freixo de Espada à Cinta on the distant frontier of North-east Portugal and an attempt to prepare the biography and gather the pictorial corpus of António Leitão, the gentleman-painter, this article raises a series of issues about the representation of a Pentecostes which shows images of Asians. Some of the central aspects mentioned and analysed are the power assumed by the images, the categorisation of Portuguese society itself at the end of the Renaissance and the creation of stereotypes by means of religious images."
