Summary:

This collection brings together the writings of Angelo Oswaldo de Araújo Santos on the history of Baroque art in Minas Gerais, organized by Maria G. A. de Andrade, encompassing four decades of essayistic production. The work compiles unpublished and previously published studies, structured in two parts, with extensive iconography. It analyzes the cultural formation of Brazilian colonial society from the perspective of Baroque art, highlighting popular religiosity, the influences of the European Christian matrix, and the contribution of African culture. It also addresses the importance of artists such as Aleijadinho, the reception of the Baroque in the 20th century, and heritage preservation policies, articulating reflections on the permanence and updating of this artistic tradition.

The book presents a collection of essays on Brazilian baroque art in the state of Minas Gerais, focusing on architecture, sculpture, painting, and religious imagery from the colonial period. It discusses key works, sites, and artists, the cultural and devotional context, and later reflections on preservation and inspiration, including gardens and museums related to this artistic heritage.
