Category:Rua Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro, Albufeira

English: This street is named after Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro (Born Lisbon 21 November 1857 – Died Lisbon 6 November 1929), who is usually referred to as Columbano, who was a Portuguese Realist painter. Columbano was a well known Republican, so it wasn't surprising that after the Republic proclamation, in 1910, he was invited to design the flag of the new regime and was nominated director of the National Museum of Contemporary Art, currently the Chiado Museum, in Lisbon, of which he was in charge from 1914 to 1927. The best collection of his paintings is in the Chiado Museum, in Lisbon. He's also represented in some of the finest Portuguese museums, like the National Museum Soares dos Reis, in Porto.
