Camões reading «Os Lusíadas» to the Friars of São Domingos is a 1929 oil by António Carneiro, a Symbolism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
In this painting, a man stands at the center, dressed in black attire, reading from a piece of paper. He is surrounded by a group of people, some of whom are seated and others standing, all attired in white robes with black cloaks. The scene is set against a backdrop of arches and columns, with a large window behind the reader. The atmosphere appears to be one of reverence and attention, as the figures in the painting focus intently on the reader. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. This painting is held at the Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo.
António Teixeira Carneiro Júnior (16 September 1872 – 31 March 1930) was a Portuguese painter, illustrator, poet and art professor.
