Portuguese term or phrase: a pintura
O Tempo - Passado e Presente, já no título assertivo, determina o seu desígnio: no passado se inspira e fundamenta, no presente se realiza. O futuro fica aquém deste projecto, a conceber algures, dentro e fora d*a pintura*. Acautelem-se os que procuram ver na porta aberta, declarado ponto de fuga onde o olhar teima em focar-se, atraído pela luz marítima e pela sábia e propositada localização na tela, um vislumbre de futuro.

following on from my earlier question - would you understand 'a pintura' here to refer to painting (in general) or this painting (in particular)
