Abstract(s)
António José Pereira foi um pintor viseense do século XIX que, não obstante tenha desenvolvido uma aprendizagem e formação autodidata, alcançou expressiva qualidade nos trabalhos artísticos que desenvolveu, recebendo significativos elogios por parte de alguns artistas e estudiosos contemporâneos.
O contacto direto com as obras do pintor Vasco Fernandes, os estudos e as cópias que delas realizou, assumiram manifesta importância na sua formação, e em algumas das suas composições religiosas são identificáveis referências da obra do mestre quinhentista.
Desenvolveu uma atividade criativa multifacetada, realizando trabalhos de tipologias artísticas diversificadas, contudo a pintura assumiu absoluta centralidade na sua trajetória, pelo que é reconhecido essencialmente pelo ofício de pintor. Trata-se de uma produção artística em correspondência com a dinâmica de encomendas que lhe eram feitas, particularmente pela Igreja e alguns particulares.
A atuação como restaurador traduziu-se na intervenção em obras de escultura, pintura, ourivesaria, etc., incluindo o restauro de algumas pinturas de Vasco Fernandes.
Os géneros de pintura que realizou foram: o retrato, a temática religiosa e a paisagem, embora esta última tenha uma representatividade diminuta no quadro da obra do pintor.
Os conhecimentos recolhidos sobre a sua vida e obra podem ser potenciados no contexto de projetos de valorização e dinamização da cultura e do turismo em Viseu. Neste âmbito, propõem-se duas rotas para a visita ao património das cidades de Viseu e Mangualde, onde a obra pictórica de António José Pereira deve ser valorizada e constituir mais um fator de reforço de interesse para os visitantes. Paralelamente, apresenta-se o projeto de uma exposição temporária, a instalar no Museu Grão Vasco.
This dissertation aims to study the life and works of Antonio Jose Pereira, an artist from Viseu. Despite being a self-taught individual, his works of art were considered to possess an impressive quality, which were highly praised by some contemporary artists and scholars. This research study set out to show how important the direct contact with the works of the painter Vasco Fernandes, studies and copies that were made of them, had on the artist’s training. And when analysing his pictorial production, references of this 16th century master were identified. Antonio Jose Pereira was an artist who developed a creative multifaceted activity, producing works of diverse artistic typologies. However, painting played a central role in his career and that is why he is essentially known as a painter. His professional activity as a restorer resulted in the intervention of works of sculpture, painting and goldsmithery, etc., including the restoration of some of Vasco Fernandes’ paintings. We analysed the types of painting he made, especially the portrait, the religious theme and landscapes, even though the latter played a lesser role in the painter’s work. In the second part of this dissertation, some perspectives are presented concerning the potential of the information about the artist’s life and work may have on projects within the context of enhancement and development of culture and tourism in Viseu. In this context, we propose two tourist routes to visit the heritage of the cities of Viseu and Mangualde, where Antonio Jose Pereira’s pictorial work should be appreciated and be another enhancement factor of interest for visitors. Furthermore, this study presents a temporary exhibition project at the Grao Vasco Museum.
