Resumo
Esta pesquisa tem como tema “Calvinismo e as Artes Visuais: empobrecimento ou libertação?” e trata do que João Calvino e seus seguidores, chamados de calvinistas, escreveram a respeito das artes visuais. Há várias acusações de que o Calvinismo não desenvolveu as artes visuais como os católicos romanos. A tensão se revela porque não foi a todo tipo de arte que os calvinistas se opuseram. E como argumentação adjacente, porém, necessária para a compreensão do tema, é feito um breve resumo histórico sobre as artes visuais nas regiões primariamente calvinistas da Europa, principalmente nos séculos XVI e XVII. Os objetivos são verificar se realmente houve um declínio quantitativo na produção artística em regiões de maioria calvinista e, em caso afirmativo, quais as razões que levaram a isto. Para alcançar os alvos propostos, utilizou-se, como fundamento metodológico, a técnica da pesquisa bibliográfica. Nomes importantes ao tema são referenciados, como João Calvino, o fundador do movimento que leva o seu nome, neocalvinistas como Abraham Kuyper e H. R. Rookmaaker, que se esmeraram em defender o conceito calvinista da arte, entre outros. O texto final está dividido em três capítulos após a Introdução: no primeiro, foi feito um breve histórico da relação entre o Calvinismo e as Artes Visuais na Europa, da igreja primitiva ao século XVII; no segundo, apresentou-se o conceito calvinista das artes visuais, onde foi demonstrado qual arte era permitida e qual era rechaçada; e no terceiro, são citados exemplos de obras artísticas do século XVII que corroboram com os conceitos calvinistas citados nos capítulos anteriores.
This research has the theme “Calvinism and the Visual Arts: impoverishment or liberation?” and deals with what John Calvin and his followers, called Calvinists, wrote about the visual arts. There are several accusations that Calvinism did not develop the visual arts like the Roman Catholics. The tension is revealed because Calvinists were not opposed to all types of art. And as an adjacent argument, however, necessary for understanding the topic, a brief historical summary is made about the visual arts in the primarily Calvinist regions of Europe, mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries. The objectives are to verify whether there really has been a quantitative decline in artistic production in regions with a Calvinist majority and, if so, what are the reasons that led to this. To achieve the proposed targets, the bibliographic research technique was used as a methodological foundation. Important names on the subject are referenced, such as João Calvino, the founder of the movement that bears his name, neo-Calvinists such as Abraham Kuyper and H. R. Rookmaaker, who took pains to defend the Calvinist concept of art, among others. The final text is divided into three chapters after the Introduction: in the first, a brief history of the relationship between Calvinism and the Visual Arts in Europe, from the early church to the 17th century; in the second, the Calvinist concept of visual arts was presented, where it was demonstrated which art was permitted and which was rejected; and in the third, examples of artistic works from the 17th century are cited that corroborate the Calvinist concepts cited in the previous chapters.
