Abstract(s)
A investigação reflete sobre o processo de descoberta, caracterização, classificação e (re)apresentação com o maior rigor possível das cores originais no interior da Igreja barroca de Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Militares, construída no período colonial português no Recife (c. 1723-1781), cidade essa situada na região nordeste do Brasil, na então província de Pernambuco. Para isso, recorremos aos estudos de teorias das cores e teoria do restauro, ao enquadramento histórico-social e, também, à tecnologia disponível para análises e codificação cromáticas de policromias. Optou-se, neste trabalho, por uma intervenção holística de restauro para garantir a unidade original do monumento, com adaptações de metodologias interdisciplinares que consideraram o edifício como um todo – monumento, elementos artísticos e decorativos integrados –, agregando-se também um estudo das condições lumínicas originais. A Igreja se destaca pela arquitetura requintada e pela riqueza de detalhes em seu interior, particularmente evidente em seu teto, onde a decoração de talha se mescla harmoniosamente com painéis pictóricos e esculturas. Ao longo dos séculos que sucederam a sua construção, a Igreja passou por várias intervenções, algumas das quais cobriram suas características estéticas originais com camadas sucessivas de tinta branca, ocultando as cores vibrantes do projeto cromático original. A intervenção de restauro realizada entre 2017-2021, gerida pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – IPHAN, trouxe de volta à luz suas cores originais, objeto de estudo de onde partiu esta investigação. Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia inédita que procura integrar não apenas o levantamento químico e estratigráfico das cores, mas também sua aparência na superfície após o tratamento, por meio de leituras e classificações usando um sistema codificado universal (NCS-Natural Colour System). Isso permitirá que medições futuras sejam feitas nas mesmas superfícies ao longo do tempo, servindo assim como uma ferramenta confiável para monitorar mudanças cromáticas. A metodologia construída nessa intervenção poderá ser replicada, como forma de contribuir para intervenções futuras em monumentos semelhantes, garantindo a sua integridade e autenticidade nos processos de restauro.
The investigation reflects on the process of discovery, characterization, classification, and (re)presentation with the utmost rigor of the original colors inside of the Baroque Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Militares, built during the Portuguese colonial period in Recife (c. 1723- 1781). This city is located in the northeastern region of Brazil, in the then province of Pernambuco. For this, we relied on studies of color theories and restoration theory, historical and social context, as well as available technology for chromatic analysis and coding of polychromies. In this work, we opted for a holistic restoration intervention to ensure the original unity of the monument, with adaptations of interdisciplinary methodologies that considered the building as a whole – monument, integrated artistic and decorative elements – also adding a study of the original lighting conditions. The church stands out for its exquisite architecture and the richness of details in its interior, particularly evident in its ceiling, where gilded decoration harmoniously blends with pictorial panels and sculptures. Over the centuries that followed its construction, it underwent several interventions, some of which covered its original aesthetic features with successive layers of white paint, concealing the vibrant colors of the original chromatic design. The restoration intervention carried out between 2017-2021, managed by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – IPHAN, brought back the original colors to light, the subject of study from which the investigation began. This work presents an unprecedented methodology that seeks to integrate not only the chemical and stratigraphic survey of colors but also their appearance on the surface after treatment, through readings and classifications using a universal coded system (NCS - Natural Colour System). This will allow future measurements to be made on the same surfaces over time, thus serving as a reliable tool to monitor chromatic changes. The methodology developed in this intervention can be replicated as a way to contribute to future interventions in similar monuments, ensuring their integrity and authenticity in restoration processes.
