Abstract

This work presents a contribution for the relation's analysis between the masterpieces made inside the Brazilian's context on the 19th century and the international art's production, specially in France, focussing in the artistic path of the painter Oscar Pereira da Silva. The artist's life had a closer relation with France, making the painter a true translator of the French artistic model to Brazil. By choosing a particular painting as a methodological matter, the "Escrava Romana" became the "master key" for the research. To justify, this canvas is a perfect model of academic studies during his learning period with the French masters, specially Jean-Léon Gérôme, artist who developed a great number of canvas with the same thematic. The second and last reason is the great visual impact that this master-piece represents inside the gallery of Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo and for being a beautiful sample of the most classic discipline in the learning process at École des Beaux Arts and the academic art in general, the representation of the nude (AU)
