Dedication of the Basilica to St. Teresa by D. Maria I, a 1784 painting by Pompeo Batoni, is housed in the Estrela Basilica. The artwork depicts a scene rich in religious symbolism and figures. The central focus is a regal woman, likely Queen Maria I, seated majestically in ornate clothing. She holds a scepter and sits before a shield bearing a coat of arms. Above her, in a celestial-like setting, St. Teresa is shown in a dark habit, surrounded by cherubic figures and other individuals, possibly representing saints or heavenly hosts. Below the queen, several nuns in dark habits are depicted in prayer or contemplation. The overall style is Baroque, characterized by dramatic lighting, rich colors, and a sense of grandeur. The painting is framed within an elaborate architectural setting, suggesting its placement within a church or chapel. The exact dimensions of the painting are not provided in the metadata.
