F	Francisco Javier Perez Rodriguez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La estatua de don Juan III que preside el Patio de las Escuelas de la universidad de Coímbra es obra del escultor Francisco Franco (1855-1955), uno de los artistas oficiales más destacados del régimen del dictador Oliveira Salazar. Obra de 1948, es buen ejemplo del «clasicismo austero» de Franco, quien en este caso se inspiró en los retratos de Enrique VIII de Inglaterra de Hans Holbein. La escultura forma parte del programa desarrollado en la Alta de Coímbra comenzado en los años 40 del siglo XX y que supuso la completa destrucción de la zona para dedicarla a las instalaciones universitarias. En la remodelación se respetaron los edificios históricos que rodean el Patio, que recibe esta estatua en honor al monarca que, en 1537, fijó definitivamente en Coímbra la universidad portuguesa, hasta entonces compartida con Lisboa.
