Lopes was court painter to the Portuguese kings Manuel I and John III. His most important work is a series of religious paintings for the monastery in Tomar (1536–1538). In addition, Lopes created portraits of many personalities at court. He was the most outstanding painter in Portugal's Golden Age. He was a well-known exponent of Renaissance and Mannerist painting in Portugal. His painting Martírio de São Sebastião was created between 1535 and 1538. It is one of the most important Portuguese paintings of the 16th century. When the painting was restored, it was examined using a multi-analytical method. In addition, infrared reflectography was used to confirm the age of the wooden panels used.
