Research article (journal)

Abstract

The article establishes a comparison between the artworks’ iconography and the prologue of the Onvalleancho Mallo (Garden of Shepherds) by the Jesuit Miguel de Almeida (1607–83), published in Goa in 1658. This doctrinal work presents a detailed interpretation of pastoral images which perfectly overlaps with the artworks’ iconography. Almeida’s work represents the best documentation for the interpretation of the iconography as it was circulating in the missionary discourse of Portuguese India.
