- Title
Canvas that cross the Atlantic: Portuguese painting in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo during the First Brazilian Republic (1889-1929).
- Authors
de ARAÚJO, Raquel Aguilar
- Abstract
The positive welcoming of the Portuguese Naturalism that arrived in Brazil during the transition to the 20th century results from a variety of factors that transformed the painting produced by one of the most repudiated nationalities of the First Republic into goods widely sought and collected by the local market. The reading of the newspapers of that time confirms that the xenophobic environment experienced in the everyday life of residents of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo did not have any effect on the devotion of the Brazilian buyers to the Naturalism sent from Portugal. The constant presence of the Portuguese painters in the tropics contributed to overcoming the barriers of social prejudice and diplomatic distance. On the other hand, the hundreds of paintings kept in Brazil stimulated the establishment of an effective cultural dialogue between the two sides of the Atlantic.
