Resumo(s)
Diu Island (India) was a Portuguese territory for more than four centuries until its integration into India in 1961. Portuguese influence can be seen in many buildings and works of art on the island, although many of these are in danger of deteriorating or vanishing altogether. The altarpiece in the chapel of Saint Anne’s Shelter is a poor-
ly conserved work which remains almost unknown. Overlooked by art historians, this important work of art is probably the oldest remaining painting in Diu, directly linked to Goa and Portugal, exemplifying the journey of art forms between Europe and Asia. This article intends to understand the context in which the altarpiece was produced, and its influences and origins. The history of the building where the altarpiece stands is also important, as it likewise reveals the altarpiece’s history and context in Diu.
