Palace, Art, VisualityAbstract
Inaugurated as the headquarter of the National Congress in 1926, Tiradentes Palace became a national political symbol in the city of Rio de Janeiro and has been consolidated as one of the most representative buildings of Eclecticism in the early 1920s. The purpose of this article is to analyze the construction of a historical representation through the classical tradition present in the decoration of the Palace. Specifically, we seek to understand the role of art as a means of inserting the Palace in a certain political narrative and the role of visuality in the diffusion of social imaginaries.
