Details

The world of art and antiques, their creation process, the interest of collectors and the vicissitudes suffered by the pieces, constitute a kaleidoscopic universe that presents infinite possibilities, not without risks. And at the center, the figure of art dealers, capable of raising the profile of works that had been left aside and, above all, of transmitting passion for those objects that carry a part of our past. Portuguese Mário Roque, who abandoned cardiology to devote himself to antiques and founded São Roque Antiquities and Art Gallery, very focused on Portuguese art from the Age of Discoveries, has been doing this for some time.

Mário Roque is frequently seen in artistic events and collaborates with numerous museums and institutions, through the loan of pieces for both national and international exhibitions. His extensive knowledge has created a school of art dealers for young students from all over the world who seek his instruction.

Lorenzo de' Medici is a member of the Medici family, one of the most emblematic and representative of European collecting, from the Renaissance to the present day, and direct heir to a history intertwined with the most admired art in the world.

Event in French with simultaneous interpretation into English.

Mário Roque is a neurologist who has developed a deep passion for antiques and Portuguese art. His interest in these fields began in childhood when he would visit fairs and antique shops with his mother, Maria Helena Roque. This early exposure to rare and high-quality pieces sparked a lifelong enthusiasm for both art and medicine.

Mário Roque believes that art can be one of the best antidotes to facing a pandemic and times of crisis, providing a meaningful escape from the stresses of his medical profession.
