Conservação e restauro da crucificação da Igreja de Miragaia

: as telas de rolo nos retábulos portugueses

Abstract

The altar painting arises in Portugal in the late of seventeenth century, except some precedents that were possibly the source of this type of painting. With a special pedagogic character, it announces the word of God more dynamically than usually in liturgical rite. They tell stories that are exposed in the liturgical year and, depending on scenic claims, were presented or simply collected throw the system that they were moved. This research comes under a scientific-analytical study and the Conservation and Restoration of a roller canvas, belonging to the São Pedro de Miragaia Church. Secondly, the theme covers a broader analysis of the landscape and conservation of roller canvas in Portugal, including their historical and liturgical framework, stressing the originality and dynamism introduced in Portuguese churches and chapels, as well as a brief inventory paintings identified at national level, where they relate some particulars, including the different mounting and setting systems and conditions of use.
