Abstract

This text proposes a discussion of the paintings made by Eliseu D’Angelo Visconti (1866-1944) as a request made by the National Library in 1911 as an invitation to reflect on the insertion of determined ideas on the issue of modernity and modern, inscribed in a visual support, the result of a specific historical moment and catalyze of social, visual, sensorial, personal and cultural experiences apprehended by a painter. It aims at presenting some reflexions about the use of the visual support as a source as well as suggest a possible interpretation of the elements laid on the two paintings named “Human Solidarity” and layeter called “Instruction” and Progress.
