Abstract
A gravura, enquanto fonte visual, foi crucial
para a construção das imagens que caracterizam
o período barroco, incluindo Portugal. Um
fenómeno imagético que não só apelou para a
reprodução pictórica das gravuras de episódios
da vida de Cristo, da Virgem Maria e dos santos,
mas adoptou outras formas, mais voltadas para a dimensão individual do crente, num apelo direto à conversão do seu coração. No barroco português, uma Teologia do Coração desenvolveu-se rapidamente na pintura e foi inspirada por livros de emblemas, numa linguagem visual focada na existência do homo interior, na sua conversão e na salvação da alma.
Engraving as a visual source was crucial in the construction of the imagery that characterized the Baroque period, including Portugal. An imagery phenomena not only appealed to the pictorial reproduction of episodes of the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Saints, but adopted other forms, more directed to the individual dimension of the believer, in a direct appeal to the conversion of his/her heart. In the context of the Portuguese Baroque, a Theology of the Heart quickly developed in painting, inspired by books of emblems, a visual language centered on the existence of the homo interior, its conversion and the salvation of the soul.
