The sublime forest in Rugendas' oil paintings

By Ana Cristina Lima

The work of German artist Johan Moritz Rugendas is extremely rich in content that is best understood when analyzed in the light of his culture. In this study, we present the decisive factors that led the artist to choose the Brazilian rainforest as the theme for his oil paintings. We seek to demonstrate that the choice of this theme, as well as the way he painted it, is directly related to issues that often find their meaning in the cradle of German culture.
