Abstract(s)
Flávio Gonçalves (1929-1987) é uma personalidade multidisciplinar. Historiador
da Arte, iconógrafo, iconólogo, investigador, professor, conferencista, constitui-se como
objeto de estudo proposto para a dissertação final do mestrado em Estudos do Património.
Homem de ciência, Flávio Gonçalves é apesar de tudo um autor pouco conhecido.
Ainda assim, os seus estudos constituem uma referência no processo da leitura e de
interpretação dos documentos figurativos, fundamentalmente a arte religiosa.
Utilizou o método iconográfico, observando atentamente e descrevendo os
elementos visuais bem como o método iconológico, para explicar o significado profundo
da obra de arte. O objetivo deste trabalho intenta responder à pergunta o que nos revelam
os estudos de Flávio Gonçalves sobre a arte religiosa em Portugal dos séculos XVI e
XVII.
A obra de Flávio Gonçalves é extensa, motivo por que circunscrevemos o
conhecimento dos seus estudos às investigações iconográficas efetuadas na arte religiosa
que revelaram influências e ruturas na historiografia nacional. Confrontamos com o que
os historiadores da arte nos primeiros anos do século XX nos deixaram para nos
situarmos nos processos historiográficos desse tempo e conhecer o que então se escreveu
sobre a História da Arte.
Flávio Gonçalves, não se limitou a ser um historiador centrado na inventariação
exaustiva e cronológica das obras de arte e das épocas a que se reportam. Os seus estudos
tanto se centraram nas obras de arte reconhecidas, como nos objetos plásticos de menor
valor artístico. Fez-nos perceber que a obra de arte, sendo uma expressão cultural, oferece
à nossa crítica mais do que nos revelam as suas cores e as suas formas.
Flávio Gonçalves (1929-1987) is a multidisciplinary figure. As an art historian, iconographer, iconologist, researcher, teacher, lecturer, he was selected as the object of study for the final master's thesis in Estudos do Património. As a man of science, Flávio Gonçalves is, despite all, a little known author. Nevertheless, his studies are a reference in what the process of reading and interpretation of figurative documents, essentially in the religious art is concerned. He used the iconographic method, by attentively looking and describing the visual elements, as well as the iconological method in order to explain the work of art’s deep meaning. The purpose of this study is to try to answer the question what do Flávio Gonçalves studies reveal about Portuguese religious art in the XVI and XVII centuries. Flávio Gonçalves work is extensive and, for this reason, we circumscribed the knowledge of his studies to the iconographic investigations about religious art that had revealed influences and ruptures in national historiography. We compared with the work of other historians from the beginning of the XX century to locate ourselves in the historiographical processes of that time and to get to know what has been written about Art History. Flávio Gonçalves was not just an historian focused on extensive and chronological inventorying of the work of art from the period concerned. His studies focus not only in well-known work of art, but also in plastic objects with minor artistic value. He made us realize that the work of art, as a cultural expression, offers to our criticism more than its colours and shapes.
