Ribeira Negra

The restoration of the artwork “Ribeira Negra” was a project developed by State of the Art as a way to reverse the process of degradation of one of the most important public monuments of Oporto.
Santa Casa da Misericordia de Lisboa sponsored this action as an act of social responsibility and to honor the work of Resende, considered the “last great allegorical work done in Portugal”.

For 6 months, the work of art was covered with an advertising panel of approx. 450m², as an opportunity to differentiate the communication of Santa Casa.
With a report by Lusa TV, Porto Canal and articles in print and online, the project was also supported by representatives of the Oporto City Hall and the “Lugar do Desenho” Foundation.
