The Galo de Barcelos (Rooster of Barcelos) became a Portuguese national symbol under the impetus of João Domingos Côta da Rocha.
Prazeres, his granddaughter, continues the family tradition, and here delivers her own interpretation of the Galo de Barcelos, without however denying what makes its originality: its flamboyant colors and its always very exaggerated crest.
The works of Parazeres Côta, and those of her mother, Júlia, always evoke the rural life of Minho, its traditional icons and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
What I like
- A unclassifiable work, between craftsmanship and naive art.
- A personal interpretation of the rooster of Barcelos.
- The authentic and unique character of each of these figurines.
Characteristics
- Unique piece
- Height: about 25cm
- Weight: about 0.5kg

Want to know more?
The Côta family is the most charismatic and representative family of figurative art from Barcelos and the Minho region in northern Portugal.
Prazeres, one of Julia Côta's daughters, continues today the tradition initiated by her great-grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha, creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).
Already honored as revelation of the year at the Feira de Barcelos in 2018, the pottery museum has just included her in an exhibition "Geração Côta" and presents several of her works belonging to the Museum's collection and to private collections.
