The altarpieces are domains that integrate art and architecture, and they were initially used as an educational tool for the propagation of Christian faith, which reached its apogee during the Catholic Reformation. These models were brought from Europe to the colonies, and in Belém there are examples that stand out for their unusual characteristics. With the proposed change in the liturgy by the II Vatican Council, they have lost their original function, but as a revealing example of the historical, artistic and religious condition from a time that present an evolution in its composition and form, they require documentation and analytical studies in the Amazon region which depict the practices and knowledge that enabled the making of these altarpieces with local labor. This research aims to analyze, starting from five types of altarpieces from Belém of the XVIII century, the iberian-italian influences in art and architecture production, emphasizing in the miscegenation’s processes of cultural encounters that occurred between settlers, missionaries, technicians (especially Bolognese architect Antonio Landi), indians and black slaves. In this sense, based on historical documents, drawings by Landi, architecture tractates, History of Art, iconographic analysis of the altarpieces it may be depicted the historical and local social context and iberian-italian context, the evolutionary study of altarpieces, academic and cultural references, and the five altarpieces based on Panofsky’s iconographic image reading methodology, on a new way of looking basis.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09-30) DINIZ, Virgínia Lúcia Guerreiro; SANJAD, Thais Alessandra Bastos Caminha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8950586647715771
In the second half of the eighteenth century, the city of Belém went through a great economic expansion, which reflected positively in its architecture, with the erection of impressive religious temples in the current historical center, such as São João Batista Church. This work examined the quadrature painting performed by the architect Antônio Landi in São João Batista Church’s interior, in Belém, to identify the paint used in that rare painting, based on the artist’s claim that he used the pigment extracted from Arrabidaea chica (H & B) Verlot, popularly known as carajiru, and the changing process this pigment went through. Therefore, it was possible to get important data for its preservation and restoration. The study was divided into three stages: first, there was a historical research focused on literary works about paints, pigments and dyes used in religious architecture during the Amazonian colonial period; on the influence of the religious orders on the decoration of the temples; on Landi’s educational background and his works in Belém; and on the technique called quadrature painting. During this stage, the damage in the painting was mapped out and the color patterns were assessed through colorimetry, and the temperature of the painted walls was measured with an infrared camera. The second stage consisted of a laboratory analysis of the paint used by Landi and the pigment extracted from carajiru through optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer and infrared spectrometer. The data surveyed allowed the identification and comparison of the materials used in quadrature painting. Finally an experiment with the paint produced from the pigment extracted from carajiru. The historical research contributed to the comprehension of the properties of the paint, pigments and dyes. The interdisciplinary study enabled the conduct of technological procedures, and allowed the development of diagnoses that are helpful to establish preventive conservation measures and proposals for future restoration interventions.

Um súdito capaz no Vale Amazônico (ou Landi, esse conhecido): um outro significado da descrição das plantas e animais do Grão-Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-08-27) KETTLE, Wesley Oliveira; COELHO, Mauro Cezar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7187368960757936
Drawn up amid the interventions of the Portuguese administration in the Amazon Valley, Antonio Landi’s Descrição de várias Plantas, Frutas, Animais, Aves, Peixes, Cobras, raízes, e outras coisas semelhantes que se acham nesta Capitania do Grão Pará, written between the years of 1772 and 1773, has been seen by History as a result of the interests of the Portuguese Crown. This present work has as object of study such description, providing an understanding which is distinct from the commonly accepted one: Descrição das plantas e animais da capitania do Grão Pará emerged as a logical extension of the metropolitan policies. Thus, it is not a formulation suggested or determined by the colonial bureaucracy, but a work motivated by colonial demands. Moreover, this thesis aimed to understand the intents which were proper of the Italian architect’s condition of settler, avoiding to conceive his production as a naturalist only as a reflection of the scientific thinking in Europe. Formerly, seeking to understand this activity as something related to the context of the local colonial dynamics. Thus, this study seeks to demonstrate that the practices and specific shapes of the Amazon Valley society were instrumental in the development of Antonio Landi’s Natural History work.
