Vida e Obra
João Roiz de Castel-Branco (mid-15th century-1515) was a nobleman of the Royal House of D. Manuel, serving as accountant for the Beira farm.
The poetic work of João Roiz de Castelo Branco is limited to 4 compositions included in the Cancioneiro Geral by Garcia de Resende.
Two are poems with epistolary contours and the remaining compositions are a gloss on a Castilian villain and the song “Senhora partem so sads”, justly famous for its beauty, made of rigor and harmony, with which it develops a recurring theme in the Cancioneiro Geral: the departure.

Sculptural Reading
Sculpture
The sculpture is made up of two parallel vertical columns that give the sensation of a pair, of union, of harmony. And each of the two columns is born a leaf, and the two leaves are launched into space in opposite directions, separating, “breaking”. In addition to separating, the leaves are symmetrical, but in a positive-negative resolution, as a reference to the duality of a loving relationship.
The sculpture is in Estremoz marble stone, with a blue tone, in which all visible veins are arranged in symmetry. The finish is honed.
Poetic Reading
The best-known poem by João Roiz de Castel-Branco and generally the only one that appears in the vast majority of collections, is the song “Partindo-se”.
In reality, at the time they were not yet called poems but songs. Although the poet dates back to the 15th/16th century, centuries to which the Renaissance in Italy corresponded, in Portugal, João de Roiz de Castelo-Branco, is still located in an earlier era, in the so-called troubadour poetry – of the songs of friend, songs of love, songs of mockery and evil to say.
The beautiful song “Partindo-se” talks about separation from the loved one. The idea of the sculpture is presented by two leaves that separate, which go in opposite directions.
