Resumo
Essa pesquisa pretende oferecer uma análise detalhada da revista Illustração do Brazil,
de Charles Vivaldi. Essa publicação foi idealizada como um instrumento portador dos mais altos valores para a época. Seu objetivo principal era, além de informar, educar a população e aproximá-la das mais elevadas expressões do conhecimento já produzidas pelo homem. Em suas páginas constam textos sobre a considerada evolução humana, biografias de artistas, a publicação de livros originais em capítulos, traduções de livros estrangeiros, comentários sobre as obras de escritores brasileiros da época, e artigos sobre a história mundial. Suas ilustrações merecem destaque especial,
impressas com uma nitidez admirável; - elas mostram cenas
urbanas de cidades europeias, americanas e orientais; retratos de grandes personalidades e, principalmente, reproduções de obras de arte, sejam elas quadros, esculturas ou fotografias, dos clássicos quadros de Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) e trabalhos de Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) a obras de contemporâneos como Daniele Bucciarelli (1839–1911). Para compreender a essência dessa publicação, o trabalho será dividido em três capítulos. O primeiro reunirá um compilado de informações sobre a imprensa e sua atuação em Portugal e no Brasil, além de resgatar algumas das publicações ilustradas que circularam no Brasil. O segundo capítulo analisará a revista Illustração do Brazil e seu conteúdo, começando com algumas informações sobre o dono da revista, seus colaboradores e o tipo de texto publicado. O último capítulo será dedicado a estudar algumas das ilustrações publicadas. Muitos desenhos foram comprados do exterior, e essa parte da pesquisa investigará como a Revista tentava conectar ilustrações estrangeiras à realidade local, e também quais valores eles tentavam expressar através das reproduções escolhidas para cada edição.
