The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.
A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.
A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.
Today’s episode (#40) – 1st April 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The oil painting portrait of Alfredo Bensaude.
The oil painting portrait of Alfredo Bensaude reflects his importance in the history and reform of engineering education in Portugal. He was the founder and first director of Técnico, from 1911 to 1922, and became its honorary director in 1924. He designed an educational model that provided a strong foundation in mathematics and engineering, and which involved the students’ participation. The oil painting portrait was painted in 1924 by the artist João Reis (and not by Ricardo Bensaude, as it was believed until this podcast episode was made) as part of the solemn session honouring Bensaude that same year. The painting is in the office of the president of Técnico and keeps the memories, influence and thoughts of its founder alive.
