Domingos da Cunha
Domingos da Cunha (c. 1598 - 11 May 1644), was a Portuguese painter.
Da Cunha, also known as the "Cabrinha" (due to being a mulatto), studied painting in Madrid with Eugenio Caxés. He primarily painted religious-themed works. He painted The Life of St. Ignatius of Loyola for the New Cathedral of Coimbra, and Visitation for Igreja de São Mamede. In March 1632 he became a lay brother Jesuit. By order of his superiors he wrote an autobiography titled Life of Brother Domingos Cunha.

Domingos José Paciência Oliveira, known simply as Domingos as a player (Portuguese pronunciation: [duˈmĩɣuʃ]; born 2 January 1969), is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a striker, and a current manager.
He achieved success with both Porto and the Portuguese national team, appearing in more than 350 official games with the former over the course of 12 seasons (nearly 150 goals) and representing the latter at Euro 1996.
After completing his accreditation in 2005, Domingos resumed his career as a manager, notably helping Braga reach the 2011 Europa League final.
Playing career
A FC Porto trainee since he was 13, discovered at local Atlético de Leça, Domingos was born in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, and proved to be a terrific goalscorer despite being physically weak. Tomislav Ivić eventually decided he should be the replacement for an ageing Fernando Gomes, and made his debuts with the first team at age 19, being crowned top scorer in the Portuguese league in the 1995–96 season; previously, in 1990–91, he was involved in a last-matchday battle for the Bola de Prata award with S.L. Benfica's Rui Águas, with Águas' team having won the championship the game before: Domingos played first, putting four past Vitória de Guimarães in a 5–0 home win, going from 20 to 24 goals. Águas appeared hours later against S.C. Beira-Mar, and scored two second-half goals in an eventual 3–0 triumph, finishing with 25.
