Abstract

The Proclamation of the Republic, on November 15, 1889, gave rise to the production of a new visuality for the nation. Through a survey of historical paintings, portraits and allegories found in museums and archives in São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Pará and Amazonas, but also their printed and recorded reproductions in lithographs (newspapers, magazines and pamphlets), produced in the early republican times, this investigation aims to demonstrate how symbols and images were created in order to promote a visual legitimation of republican power in tension with the imagery of the imperial regime. A careful analysis of the corpus of images collected showed that, differently from what one might suppose, the images of the Republic do not completely supplant those of the Empire. On the contrary, there are many survivors of the symbols of the previous regime in the one that takes effect. To demonstrate this, we will approach the images of Princess Isabel, the female allegories of the Republic, the portraits of Deodoro da Fonseca and the images of the proclamation of the Republic.
