Abstract(s)
A história da arte cristã deu-nos, ao longo de vários séculos, imagens, símbolos,
reflexões profundas, técnicas, doutrina e sermões e sobretudo respostas a questões que só
através de uma pesquisa se esclarecem.
O Cristianismo marcou e marca de forma indelével a arte Europeia e Ocidental por mais
de dois mil anos. As suas raízes, mais marcantes, a sua essência, a sua natureza e as suas mais
íntimas transformações e adaptações, muitas vezes desconhecidas, refletem-se na obra deixada,
quer no âmbito espiritual, quer na obra edificada.
O que se pretende evidenciar, através deste trabalho é o caminho que a arte cristã
percorreu, através de várias épocas, marcadas e identificadas, sempre fiel à sua grande
inspiração que é Cristo. A simples construção de um edifício, tem na arte cristã o seu lugar de
destaque uma vez que edificar, por si só, é uma palavra estruturante de Deus na sua obra de
salvação. Desta forma, sigo um itinerário que põe a descoberto a adaptação da arte cristã, cujas
modificações são visíveis através da renovação dos espaços de acordo com o Concílio Vaticano
II. Para que seja mais visível essa transformação, no espaço, estabeleço o paralelo emblemático
entre duas igrejas que falam por si, cada uma delas manifestando a diferença, mas preservando
um fator comum, a sua beleza que, dentro da diferença, conserva, no pormenor, a sua inicial
identidade.
The history of Christian art has given us, through the centuries, images, symbols, profound reflections, techniques, doctrine and sermons, and, above all, answers to questions which only through research can be clarified. Christianity has indelibly marked European and Western art for over two thousand years. Its most significant roots, its essence, its nature, and its most intimate transformations and adaptations, often unknown, are reflected in the work achieved, both in the spiritual and material spheres. What I propose to show, through this composition, is the path which Christian art has followed, along different eras that are marked and identified, and which is always faithful to its great inspiration – Jesus Christ. The mere 10 erection of a building has, in Christian art, its own relevant place since constructing is in itself a structuring word of God in His act of salvation. In this manner, I follow an itinerary that unveils the progression of Christian art, of which the Changes are visible through the adaptation of the spaces in harmony with the Council Vatican II. In order to make this transformation more visible, in space, I am drawing a parallel between two churches that speak for themselves, each one of them manifesting its own difference whilst preserving a common factor: its beauty which, within its diversity, preserves, in detail, its primary identity.
