Abstract
Brazil through French eyes: a nineteenth-century artist in the tropics
Highlights
This is a revised and expanded version of a book first published in French under the title Romantisme tropical: l’aventure illustrée d’un peintre français au Brésil (Presses de l’Université Laval, 2009)
Ana Lúcia Araújo, whose previous works dealt with issues of memory, slavery, and the South Atlantic,[1] proposes to compare the travelogue and the woodcuts with other illustrations and 19th-century European travel writings, and to show that it is part of a long tradition in the genre
Her argument rests heavily on the concept of “tropical romanticism”, a specific mode of constructing visual and written narratives about Brazil that dialogues with other paradigms of construction of an exotic reality thorough such as Orientalism, aiming at building a markedly hierarchized depiction of the local society
