Portugal's architectural heritage, which is so evident in original Renaissance and Baroque interpretations, is still visible today. The Azores, a Portuguese Autonomous Region in the Atlantic Ocean 900 miles west of Portugal, is very much influenced in the field of contemporary architecture by the Portuguese. This artwork features a significant architectural achievement from the Azores, the Caloura Hotel Resort in Sao Miguel. Sao Miguel is the largest of the nine main islands that make up the Azores, a popular resort for European vacationers. The Caloura Hotel Resort typlifies the contemporary concept of creating a building that maintains the balance between art and nature.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the Portugal Azores Europa 1987 Modern Art - Architecture stamp issued May 5, 1987.
