Abstract

The combination of a computational approach with the expertise of art historians in studying the similarities and differences between European prints and eighteenth-century Portuguese azulejos has led to the emergence of an “iconographic style,” which introduced two major modes of depicting the Annunciation during the period under analysis. The article aims to assess the impact of the circulation of European prints on Portuguese tile coverings to better understand how the images were circulated and to determine their influence in terms of form, style, decoration, iconography and working process on the definition and execution of different iconographic programmes. En combinant approche informatique et expertise des historiens de l’art, l’étude comparée des gravures européennes et des azulejos Portugais du 18ème siècle a révélé un « style iconographique » qui introduit deux grandes façons de représenter l’Annonciation pendant la période analysée. L’article vise à évaluer l’impact de la circulation de gravures européennes sur des panneaux d’azulejos pour mieux comprendre comment les images ont circulé et mesurer leur influence en termes de forme, style, décoration, iconographie et méthode de travail sur la définition et l’exécution de différents programmes iconographiques.
