Resumo(s)
A presente dissertação compreende um estudo exaustivo de uma criteriosa seleção
de vinte e sete pinturas da artista Aurélia de Sousa, focando-se nas peças de mobiliário
por si representadas em tela. Ao elaborarmos este tipo de investigação contribuímos não
só para um novo olhar sobre o vasto espólio da artista assim como, propomos uma
utilização da pintura como meio de investigação de uma das áreas de estudo das Artes
Decorativas: o mobiliário. Poderão as peças de mobiliário servir apenas como simples
adições na composição pictórica? A representação do espaço doméstico (com
personagens maioritariamente femininas) nos finais do século XIX será, ainda, uma
tentativa de imitar a prática dos mestres holandeses do século XVII? São questões centrais
sobre os elementos decorativos presentes no espaço doméstico; as profissões/atividades
que se servem desses espaços; a importância do mobiliário e a sua representação; as
técnicas presentes na pintura e, com isso, delinear o(s) movimento(s) artístico(s) nos quais
a pintora se destaca. Abordar estas obras, sob este ponto de vista, poderá constituir-se
como contributo relevante para um mais amplo conhecimento da pintura portuguesa do
final do século XIX, trazendo nova luz sobre uma temática pouco estudada.
The present dissertation consists of an exhaustive study of a carefully chosen selection of twenty-seven works by the artist, Aurélia de Sousa, with a focus on the furniture pieces represented on the chosen paintings. By following this line of research, the present dissertation not only contributes to a new look at the artist's vast collection but also proposes the use of paintings as a means of investigating an area of study in the related field of Decorative Arts: furniture. Could pieces of furniture serve only as simple addictions to the pictorial composition? Is a representation of a domestic space (mostly with female figures) at the end of the 19th century still an attempt to mimic the 17th century Dutch masters' practice? These are the central questions about the decorative elements found in the domestic space; about the professions and activities that those spaces tend to serve; the importance of furniture and its representation in art; the techniques present in the 19th century painting and, therefore, outline the artistic movement(s) where the elected painter stands out. Addressing these works, from this particular point of view, could be a relevant contribution to a broader knowledge of Portuguese painting of the end of the 19th century, bringing new light to a topic that has been little studied.
