| Sumario: | The main objective of this article is to present one of the most interesting aspects verified in the workshops of the antiques Jesuit Colleges and missions in the Amazon, between the 17th and 18th centuries: the artistic work of Germain-speaking Jesuits and indigenous, together, for the decoration of the churches of the Company of Jesus in the region. For that, we`ll focus not only the performance of two important Jesuits artists –the Luxembourgish Johann Philipp Bettendorff (João Felipe Bettendorff, 1625-1698), and the Tyrolean Johann Xaver Treyer (João Xavier Traer, 1668-1737)– but also of some indigenous artists, who are known only by their names: Francisco, Martinho, Marçal, Angelo, Faustino. We intend to collaborate for the already advanced studies about the presence of Germain-speaking Jesuits, acting in the artistic production of the colonial period in South America, as well as to draw attention to the presence of indigenous cultures and artists in that process. |
