Ouro Preto [colonial mineira art]
The praça Tiradentes is the central point of the city; it is as if it were a
divider. From that point, one can programme visits. Ouro Preto possesses
steep slopes and it takes a considerable amount of time to traverse them.
Walking is, however, the best way to get to know the city, which is an
open-air museum, and to best observe it from different angles.

Cultural Itinerary - Colonial mineira art
For those who wish to get to know mineira colonial art well, a good
suggestion is to organize a trip based on chronological order. Get to know

National Portuguese and joanino periods can be observed.

Portuguese Baroque

Igreja Nossa Senhora do Pilar (Paróquia Pilar)
Church of Our Lady of the Pillar (Pillar Parish)
One of the most exuberant temples of Minas Gerais. It originates in the apogee
of Baroque decoration, providing a dramatic effect for the senses. It contains
works of art of Francisco Xavier de Brito, the Portuguese sculptor who
introduced joanino in Minas Gerais.
The Museum of Sacred Art functions on the inside of this museum.
Address: praça Monsenhor João Castilho Barbosa – (31) 3551-4736

Igreja Rosário dos Pretos (Paróquia Pilar)
Church of the Rosary of the Blacks (Pillar Parish)
Any itinerary dedicated to those who want to see colonial mineira art
cannot miss the only church, in Ouro Preto, with true Baroque architecture.
This splendid construction possesses authentic Baroque architecture. Its
curved base and façade transform it into one of the wonders of 18th Century
mineira art. Just this church and the Saint Peter of the Clerics, in Mariana,
possess this characteristic in Minas Gerais, of being truly faithful to Baroque
in their architecture.
Address: praça do Rosário
Open Hours: Tuesdays - Sundays, from 9:00 to 11:00 and from 12:30 to
16:45

Antônio Dias
Chapel of Father Faria – Rosary of White Men (Antônio Dias Parish)

alters from the joanino period. The lining of the chapel alter in its
Baroque perspective has somewhat of a special preciousness.

After getting to know, through extraordinary visits, the National
Portuguese and Joanino styles which were used to decorate the
mineiro temples in the first half of the 18th Century, it is time to
appreciate Rococo, the style that dominated the second half of the
same century.

Two temples perfectly illustrate this style. They are:
Igreja São Francisco de Assis (Paróquia Antônio Dias)
Church of Saint Francis of Assisi (Antônio Dias Parish)
The great mineiro masters Aleijadinho and Athaíde left behind their Brazilian
Rococo masterpieces.
Rococo reached its maximum level of sophistication in the lining of the nave.
Athaíde was, without a doubt, the great master of the colonial Brazil’s
perspective painting. The architectural plot is light, made up of rocailles,
delicate wreaths and angels that seem to float within the grace of vivid
colours.

beauty. In this temple, the master Aleijadinho executed his final works of art.
Address: rua Brigadeiro Musqueira, – (31) 3551-2601
Open Hours: Tuesdays – Sundays from 9:00 to 11:00 and from 13:00 to 16:45

Considered to be the only museum of its kind in the world, it is one of the most
beautiful in Minas Gerais. It houses a fantastic collection of oratories which date
back to the 17th to 20th Centuries. They come in various forms, from the most
humble to the most luxurious. For those who like art, it is a not-to-miss attraction.
