An altar depicting scenes of the birth of Jesus at The Cathedral of St. Nicholas (Sep., 2021).

This church, located in South Brazil, was painted by my great-uncle Pedro Cechet. He was born in Brazil, but his fathers came from Italy - Comune di Feltre. He studied in Rio de Janeiro and also in Italy. He painted several churches in Santa Catarina, my homeland, and adopted the linear and aerial perspective typical of the Quattocento, also preserving the Gothic style.
