| Abstract | |
The objective of this research is to expand the understanding of painting in colonial Brazil, specifically portrait painting. Being limited the focus to encompass the works which include members of the portuguese royal family and people closely related to it, as the vice-kings and governors. The determination of the object of study aims to select a privileged material to observe certain characteristics of eighteenth-century luso-brazilian culture, including the dimension of portrait painting into the realm of portuguese absolute monarchical power. The cultural function of these visual representations becomes clearer when they are subject to the conditions of demand and implementation of those, as well as the locations for which they were intended. We seek to reconstitute the circulation of works to be able to grasp the development of portraiture, which originates in the metropolis, crosses the Atlantic Ocean, and reaches the Portuguese America (AU) | |
