A inter-relação entre a história da arte e a restauração: a Igreja da Ordem III de São Francisco da Penitência - um estudo de caso

Abstract

Initially, the question proposes to focus the influence of the taste and values of the society at each age, about the artist and the restorer's tendencies. Sequentially, the Ordem III de São Francisco da Penitência Church of Rio de Janeiro will be presented as a case study, which deals with the necessity of doing some research, through the survey of prerequisites referring to the artistic- historical values and interventions. Afterwards, the importance of the Art's History will be restated, as the main reference to select the criteria, which will be applied to the restoration of the work of art.
