Raul Brandão e Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro, entre a literatura e a pintura

Abstract

In the late 18th century, Portugal experienced the friendly relationship between two artists who were outstanding in Literature and Painting. Raul Brandão and Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro portrayed each other in their works over the course of that relationship, which lasted approximately thirty years. In recent decades, researchers of Brandão and Columbano's works have observed the incursion of traces of Columbano Bordalo's pictorial art into the territory of the Foz do Douro writer. Based on letters and documents dating from 1895, this article seeks to present the inter-artistic dialogue existing in the literary work História dum Palhaço and in the painting Retrato de Raul Brandão.
