COSTA, Célio Juvenal  e  VERSOLATTO, Giovana Cardoso. Baroque and Education in Portugal in the Seventeenth Century: Josefa de Óbidos. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e123.  Epub 13-Set-2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-123.

This paper’s aim is to identify in what way the Baroque contributed to the education in Portugal in the seventeenth century through the work of Josefa de Óbidos. Our hypothesis is that the Baroque was one of the elements in the educational process of that period because of its role in fulfilling the formative purpose of the time. To that end, we analyzed some of the referred artist’s works with the purpose of investigating the premises instilled in the images in order to identify her artifices of persuasion or guidance, which have corroborated with the educational process of the faithful/subject. We concluded that the Baroque's stylistic elements granted a directive character to Josefa's works, which contributed to guide the faithful/subject in their experience and learning of the Catholic faith and thus to the creed's perpetuation and preservation.
