- Summary
- Fine edition dedicated to the Capela de São José dos Homens Pardos (Chapel of Saint Joseph of the Black Men) located in the city of Ouro Preto, comprising an important and complete historical research performed by respected researchers in the field of Baroque Art. The volume comprises the history of formation of the brotherhood before 1726, the process of construction and erection of the Chapel and its processes of restoration and conservation today. The unique combination of a single tower over a curved projecting balcony and single door in the façade distinguishes the building from other baroque churches in the region. Antônio Francisco Lisboa, nicknamed "Aleijadinho" (little cripple), the renowned 18th century Brazilian sculptor and architect, designed the church altar and tower. The structure has been a National Monument since 1939 and is currently under the administration of the Museum of Sacred Art of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Despite its significance, the church was unused for years and was affected by geotechnical instability, previous inappropriate interventions, and insufficient maintenance, all of which have led to its deterioration.
