'The death of António Chainho leaves Portuguese music and culture in mourning,' José Luís Carneiro said in a post on social media.

The Assembly of the Republic today unanimously approved a motion of condolence tabled by the Socialist Party (PS) over the recent death of visual artist Guilherme Parente, describing him as a leading figure in Portuguese painting.

Francisco Simões was the sculptor of the statues at Parque dos Poetas in Oeiras, and the municipal council will honour him by naming an avenue in the municipality after him.

He was the creator of the work “Mulheres de Lisboa” and the busts of Vieira da Silva and Arpad Szenes at Lisbon Metro stations. He was 80.
