Abstract

Na colônia portuguesa da América viveu e atuou um pintor português nascido em Braga. Era uma sociedade hierarquizada, desigual e preconceituosa, onde a possibilidade do enriquecimento rápido abrandava a rigidez das relações sociais baseadas na cor e na procedência. Em um ambiente mais incerto e hostil do que Portugal, as ameaças, na ausência das ordens religiosas primeiras e segundas, seriam o esgarçamento das relações sociais pela ausência do controle social exercido pela fé, e a prevalência de religiões africanas. José Soares de Araújo levou ao Arraial do Tijuco nas Minas Gerais, uma pintura de quadratura com influências do jesuíta Andrea Pozzo e quadro recolocados perspécticos, que formam um conjunto erudito, em consonância com a intencionalidade de reverberação dos valores religiosos e políticos da Coroa na colônia, atendendo à necessidade do estabelecimento da supremacia religiosa católica.
In the Portuguese colony in America, once lived and worked a Portuguese painter born in Braga. Because the society in which he lived was hierarchical, unequal and prejudiced, the possibility one had of becoming rapidly and suddenly rich tended to soften the strictness of the social structures, based on color and origin. In a more uncertain and hostile environment than the one found in Portugal at the time, the lack of social control exercised by faith, that came as a result of the absence of representatives of the first and second religious orders, threatened to decay the societal status quo, and to open the doors to the prevalence of African religions. José Soares de Araújo created in the Arraial do Tijuco in Minas Gerais quadrature paintings influenced by Jesuit Andrea Pozzo, and added to them central paintings in perspective, producing erudite ensembles which reverberated the Crown¿s religious and political values in the colony, meeting the need for the establishment of Catholic religious supremacy.
