Francisco Correia e a sua produção pictórica na Misericórdia do Porto. Caracterização técnica e material das bandeiras da paixão de Cristo

It is in the documental sources of the Oporto’s Misericórdia that the name of the painter Francisco Correia arises more frequently, especially with the implementation of the twelve processional flags of the Passion of Christ, made in partnership with three local artists: Dominic Lawrence Pardo, Ignacio Ferraz de Figueroa and Diogo Oliveira. In spite of being known more works of Francisco, it will be difficult the task to determine which flags are of his authorship. In order to deepen the knowledge of their work and to clarify some issues, particularly trying to understand if there is some specificity in technical and material that may point to the work of the painter terms, the materials and techniques employed using methods of examination and analysis were analyzed.
