This sculpture composed of four pieces narrate the love story between Dionísio and Ampelo, with the latter’s transformation into a vine, is a work of art that transcends mere visual representation. The vine, which is born, grows, bears fruit and is renewed every year, is a powerful metaphor for the cycle of life and death. The sculpture invites us to reflect on our own finitude and the search for a deeper meaning to existence. It carries with it a deep symbolic and historical meaning, especially when we consider the context of the Ampelographic Garden of Alenquer.
