===Arts=== [[File:Porto - Matosinhos - Praça da Cidade de Salvador.jpg|thumb|On the waterfront, ''[[She Changes]]'' sculpture by artist [[Janet Echelman]]]] Porto was the birthplace in 1856 of [[Susanna Roope Dockery]], an Anglo-Portuguese watercolour painter who produced many paintings of the city and the people and landscape of the surrounding rural areas. An Englishman, [[Frederick William Flower]], moved to Porto in 1834 at the age of 19 to work in the wine trade and subsequently became a pioneer of photography in Portugal. Like Dockery, he drew his inspiration from the city, the Douro river and the rural areas. In 2005, the municipality funded a [[Public art|public sculpture]] to be built in the Waterfront Plaza of [[Matosinhos]]. The resulting sculpture is entitled ''[[She Changes]]''<ref>[http://www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag05/julaug_05/echelman.shtml Janet Echelman's She Changes] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205161717/http://www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag05/julaug_05/echelman.shtml |date=5 February 2012 }} Sculpture Magazine July–August 2005</ref> by American artist, [[Janet Echelman]], and spans the height of 50 × 150 × 150 metres.
