About the artwork

The majestic Pico Volcano, photographed from the serene shore of Lagoa do Capitão, is one of the most iconic images of the island of Pico in the Azores. This unique photograph captures the impressive height and power of Portugal's tallest mountain, while the calm waters of the lake in the foreground offer a mirror-like reflection of the volcano.

Lagoa do Capitão, one of the largest lakes on the island, is surrounded by lush vegetation and situated in an idyllic location at the foot of the Pico Volcano. This picturesque lake is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy its tranquillity and unspoilt nature. The combination of the calm, crystal-clear waters and the imposing volcano in the background creates an enchanting landscape that perfectly captures the beauty and diversity of the Azores.

For photographers, this location offers endless possibilities. The contrasting colours of the greenery surrounded by the dark lava fields and the impressive mountain rising high above the landscape create a dramatic and unforgettable image. The soft light of the morning or the golden glow of the sunset makes this view even more impressive.

A photo of the Pico Volcano from Lagoa do Capitão is a wonderful memento of the pristine and rugged beauty of the Azores. This image captures not only the essence of the island of Pico, but also the unique and timeless splendour of this volcanic landscape.
