Resumo(s)
The Divine Comedy is one of the most illustrated literary works of all time, however, and within this vast subject, there are few records of illustration about this text in Portugal. This study aims to explore the possibilities of the illustration of Hell through a technique that until now has been poorly investigated, and to solve the problems faced in its use. Hell was shown in its entirety for the first time in Portugal by António Carneiro, through forty-two drawings. This project also intends to publicize his drawing project and to further enrich a little the existing studies of this work which, unfortunately and so far, have received little attention and few publications. This existing documentation, allowed us to address issues relating to the origin, motives and methods used by António Carneiro, and to establish a connection with the end result of these drawings which, along with several other works of the various illustrators of Dante, constituted the support of this research. This work placed its emphasis on the strategies of representation with the aim of providing a different view, looking for expressive techniques appropriate to the illustration of Hell, and, like António Carneiro, to contribute to the illustration of the Divine Comedy. It is argued that the intention of António Carneiro when he completed the forty-two drawings of Hell was to later illustrate the Divine Comedy through paintings, but this project would ultimately never materialize. However, the intentions of António Carneiro are unclear and this study suggests some particular difficulties regarding the lack of information. In this study, the aesthetic and expressive potentials of the technique of frottage are discovered, which according to the research conducted here, has never been used to illustrate the Divine Comedy, or, from what is known, as a strategy to illustrate other works
