Description

Tese de mestrado em Desenho, apresentada à Universidade de Lisboa através da Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2006 Natural History Drawing developed all over Europe throughout 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Two remarkable instances of the genre are to be found in Portugal, both associated to voyages made to the Brazilian territories. The first one’s a work by Cristóvão de Lisboa, a 17th century priest, the second by Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira, a 18th century naturalist philosopher. Upon the comparative analysis of both works, particularly of drawings of animals, it shows up the extent to which a shift occurred from what we may call a pre Linnaeus way of observing and representing to a post Linnaeus one. On this ground, the present study proposes to contribute to establish Scientific Drawing as a specific area in Drawing Studies, in the Fine Arts context
