This article issues from manifold persistent researches carried on by the historian in a still incipient branch of study, iconography - the analysis of "figurative writing" or "sign language", the conveyance of a message by means of mediating forms, figures that depict ideas, "images" or "symbols", objects and natural elements. The research developed in this field circumscribes itself to the documentation relating to the colonial period in Minas, a period pervaded by what is generically called "baroque style", and which extends over the 18th century on to the beginning of the 19th. It encloses, therefore, religious documentation - predominant at the time - registering the various devotions through images and representative pictures in Fraternities books. The historian intends to synthetize the "primacy of the visual" in the baroque art, placing it in the context and dynamic sense of colonial history in Minas, ideologically shaped by the counter-reformist religious spirit and by tradition came from the Middle Age.
