A Contrarreforma e a Restauração na identidade do Barroco nacional.

Um caso de estudo em Penafiel

Abstract

The national Baroque is a Portuguese originality, following the guidelines of the Counter-Reformation and also in the path of cultural independence concerning Spain, following the Restoration of Portugal (1640-1668). Wood carving, sculpture, painting and gilding were developed in the artistic schools of Lisbon, Porto and Braga, with ornamentation based on 17th-century prints from the Italian and German schools and also on French printed resources. The methodology focuses on the author's productions and specific bibliography of wood carving. We highlight two objectives: the originality of the national Baroque and the development of the regional artistic school of Penafiel and also Manuel Ferreira de Figueiredo from Penafiel on a high scale of erudition of the national Baroque, but in a very short time: 1688-1702. We don’t see another artist as brilliant in the regional center of Penafiel.
