Resumo: | Presentation and interpretation of the artistic work “Agony in the Garden” of the Dominican friar Fra Angelico as a part of the interpretative history of the Biblical text Luke 10.38-42 and of the Biblical narratives that present Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane together with the disciples Peter, John and James. The work’s historical context is that of Italy in the Late Middle Ages. In the painting, Martha and Mary appear inserted into the story of the Passion of Jesus, in the garden of Gethsemane, as a rereading that Fra Angelico contextualized in the history of his time. For the sake of analysis, we used reference points from feminist hermeneutics at the interface of the theological, cultural and art history. We aimed at demonstrating that Christian sacred art, as a part of the interpretative history, not only illustrates something from the past and/or present, but has also some influence on the form(at)ing of mentalities. This pedagogical function is present and interpreted positively in the Agony in the Garden, in dialogue with women’s movements in the context of this work of art. It can be noted that part of the women’s story is represented by means of the interpretative history, also present in the fresco in question. Hermeneutically, the text, the picture and the interpretative history continue challenging today’s sciences, skills and libertarian movements. |

O contexto histórico da obra é o da Baixa Idade Média, na Itália. Na pintura, Marta e Maria aparecem inseridas na história da Paixão de Jesus, no Getsêmani, como releitura contextualizada por Fra Angelico na história do seu tempo. Para análise, utilizam-se referenciais da hermenêutica feminista na interface com história da teologia, história cultural e história da arte. Objetiva-se demonstrar que a arte sacra cristã, como parte da história interpretativa, não apenas ilustra algo do passado e/ou do presente, mas também influencia a forma(ta)ção de mentalidades. Esta função pedagógica está presente e é interpretada no Getsêmani de maneira positiva em diálogo com movimentos de mulheres no contexto desta obra de arte. Observa-se que parte da história de mulheres está representada por meio da história interpretativa, presente também no afresco em questão. Hermeneuticamente, o texto, a imagem e a história interpretativa continuam desafiando as ciências, as competências e os movimentos libertários hodiernos.Editora PUC Minas2015-01-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/P.2175-5841.2014v12n36p131510.5752/P.2175-5841.2014v12n36p1315HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião; v. 12, n. 36, out./dez. 2014 - Dossiê: Religião e Demografia; 1315-1333HORIZONTE - Journal of Studies in Theology and Religious Sciences; v. 12, n. 36, out./dez. 2014 - Dossiê: Religião e Demografia; 1315-13332175-5841reponame:Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/P.2175-5841.2014v12n36p1315/7530Richter Reimer, Ivoniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-13T16:23:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/7716Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonteONGhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/oaihorizonte.pucminas@gmail.com2175-58411679-9615opendoar:2022-12-13T16:23:07Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
