#side altar

Jesus on the cross and the Arma Christi (Instruments of the Passion of Christ) - this is one of the several side altars of the Parish Church of Santiago (Saint James), in Tavira. A trained eye may notice that these Arma Christi (middle image) have a vaguely similar style to that of the Arma Christi of the Hermitage of the Calvary, also in Tavira (well, technically, it's located on the outskirts of Tavira) - I would not be surprised if both had been painted by the same artist, whose name remains a mistery.

II) Saint Anthony of Lisbon/Padua, Our Lady of Fátima, and Madonna and Child.
