ResumoThis study proposes a critical reinterpretation of a renowned allegorical portrait associated with the Marian project of the Royal Convent of the Heart of Jesus in Lisbon. Using both iconographic and literary sources, it seeks to demonstrate, through the iconographic method, the significance of writing and imagery for an authentic and accurate interpretation of the iconographic program in which the book and illustration are integrated. Given the content of the engraving, this case study focuses on panegyric art, emphasizing the mutual appreciation it fostered between the panegyrist and the person being honored. The main objective is to deepen the understanding of how writing and visual art complemented each other in conveying political messages in service of the crown during the 18th century.
