| Sumario: | The first comments on Brazilian religious art and architecture of the Colonial period were written by European travellers. 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. |
