Saint Andrew (church of Nossa Senhora da Estrela, Ribeira Grande), that came from the chapel of the same name, is a 16th-century work whose Flemish affiliation is obvious in the drawing and sculptural appearance of the figures, the warm colours and delicate play of light on the background landscape, made in perspective.
Worthy of special mention in the context of Hindu-Portuguese art originating from the Malabar coast (Goa) and Sri Lanka are the two paintings in the church of Santa Cruz da Graciosa, depicting São Francisco Xavier and Santo lnácio de Loyola dressed in long robes with golden adornments, brought in during the 17th century.
The former, a painter, caricaturist and ceramicist, followed a path that diverged from the vanguard, focusing all his attention on local reality, on the landscapes, appearances and attitudes of the simple and common people that he perceived as the most authentic aspect of this landscape, and capturing them with the detail of an ethnographer.
