SEMANA DE ALEIJADINHO
Go there and contact
The Semana do Aleijadinho honors in all the baroque cities of Minas Gerais and especially Ouro Preto the sculptor Aleijadinho.
The Aleijadinho, or "little cripple", was an artist and sculptor who decorated a large number of churches and civil buildings until 1814, when he died. Although he was affected by a crippling disease (leprosy), he put his stamp on the Mineiro Baroque. His history is inseparable from that of his city: Vila Rica d'Ouro Preto, known today simply as Ouro Preto. During one week, multiple celebrations and commemorations pay tribute to the Mineiro artist in Ouro Preto and in Minas Gerais.
