| Summary: | The opposition between styles has have a great importance in the historiography ofarts in Europe. This article argues that the term school of painting was adopted by Brazilianpainter and art critic Manoel de Araújo Porto-Alegre (1806-79) for writing the history of 19thcentury art in Rio de Janeiro. By defining a “Fluminense School” and later a “Brazilian School”,the critic conceived an interpretation of Brazilian past that praised baroque artworks and thepeculiarities of the artistic past of Rio de Janeiro. This article claims, on the contrary to what hasbeen stated, Porto-Alegre appreciated Baroque art as an important step to the creation of what hethought to be the History of art in Brazil. |
