SEQUEIRA, DOMINGO ANTONIOr DE (1768-r837), Portuguese painter, was born at Lisbon in 1768, and studied art first at the
academy
  of Lisbon, and subsequently under A. Cavallucci in Rome. By the age of thirteen he had evinced such marked talent that F. de Setubal employed him as assistant in his
work
  for the Joao Ferreiras Palace. Sequeira sojourned in Rome from 1788 to 1794, when he was made honorary member of the
Academy
  of St Luke. After another two years' travel and study in Italy, he returned to his native country preceded by so
great
  a reputation that important commissions for churches and palaces were immediately entrusted to himscriptural subjects, large historical compositions and cabinet pictures. In 1802 he was appointed first court painter, in which capacity he executed many works
for the prince regent, for Donna Maria Teresa, and for the members of the court. He designed the valuable silver service which was presented by the Portuguese nation to
Wellington
 , and a
monument
  that was erected in 182o in the Rocio square at Lisbon. In 1823 he visited Paris, where he is known to have tried his skill in lithography and etching. The last years of his life he spent in Rome, devoting himself chiefly to devotional subjects and to his duties as head of the Portuguese Academy. He died in Rome in 1837. His best-known pictures are the " Last Moments of the Poet
Camoens
 ," " Flight into
Egypt
 ," " Ugolino," the " St Bruno " at the Lisbon Academy, and the "Descent from the
Cross
 ." Numerous paintings by Sequeira are in the royal palace at
Mafra
 , the convent of Laveinas, the new palace of Ajuda, and in the
principal
  palaces and churches of Lisbon.
