We celebrate the work of Leone Holzhaus, a prominent chronicler of the Alentejo, whose paintings capture the soul of the region. This exhibition is an invitation to see and explore the Alentejo through her eyes.

Associação Arte AlémTejo, responsible for her artistic legacy, presents a selection of the artworks she left behind.

This year Leone Holzhaus (1948-2022), whose artistic legacy is managed by the Associação Arte AlémTejo, would have turned 76. Her working life was entirely devoted to art, but she also had an unparalleled talent for the art of living. Liesbeth Steur, author and good friend of Leone wrote a text for each category of the exhibition. If you want to read more of Liesbeth’s stories, you can do so via this link:
