FROM INTERMEDIALITY TO INTERCULTURALITY: THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT IN GIOTTO’S, FRA ANGELICO’S AND PORTINARI’S PICTORIAL TRANSPOSITIONS

Sigrid Renaux

Resumo


Starting from the biblical episode of “The Flight into Egypt”, this essay, based on Clüver’s, Rajewski’s and Souriau’s theoretical concepts on interart approaches, discusses the pictorial transposition of this text to Giotto’s and Fra Angelico’s frescos. It then considers the way the styles of these two Renaissance painters are reflected in Portinari’s works on the same theme. As he moves from his initial academicism to modern experimentalism in the preliminary drawings and paintings for the 1952 works, and especially in the later works on the theme, between 1953 and 1960, “The Flight into Egypt” has continued to inspire the artist, establishing a dialogical relationship between the biblical theme and themes from Brazilian culture and history.

Keywords: Intermediality. Interculturality. The Bible. Portinari.
