Their notes reveal a lot to historians these days as in their combination of bafflement and astonishment they left extremely detailed records. Nevertheless, when it came to interpreting another culture, their own culture was ever strongly present. Today, Latin America still fascinates foreign commentators, and the twentieth century observers are equipped with more tools to bridge the cultural gap. They use a technical knowledge in an attempt to transcend cultural barriers in their own fields: History, Art History, Anthropology, Sociology and combining all this technical knowledge they try to surpass the cultural frontiers. Sometimes they succeed; sometimes they do not. Los viajeros europeos fueron los primeros en escribir sobre arte en la America Portuguesa. Las narrativas -en las cuales trataban de analizar lo que veían con los parámetros adquiridos a troves de sus propias culturéis- están impregnadas de admiración y extrañeza. Quizás por herencia de aquellos primeros cronistas europeos, los estudios del arte colonial en la historiografía brasileña mantuvieron, durante gran parte del siglo XX, una mirada "die afuera ". Esta tendencia hizo que el arte colonial fuese constantemente "adaptado " a modelos originalmente observados en tendencias artísticas europeas y a métodos creados para aplicárselos. Solo recientemente, a partir de las dos ultimas decadas del siglo XX, la historiografía brasileña empieza a buscar una "lógica interna " en el arte colonial de la America Portuguesa. Aun hoy existen muchas divergencias sobre este tema. Historiadores e historiadores del arte brasileño parecen estar divididos en dos grupos: aquellos que creen que es posible encontrar una "lógica interna " y otros que creen que la perspectiva europea sea la única posible. Para muchos intelectuales brasileños la constatación de que no somos europeos y de que no formamos parte de Europa parece ser extremadamente doloroso y, por lo tanto, a esta realidad se la evita, siempre que se puede.
