“…As a result, the plantation as a constructed landscape became an object of aesthetic appreciation. In relation to the theme of the 'functional quadrilateral,' the visual representation of plantations presented by Ferrez is in harmony with other artistic inscriptions of the period, such as the oil paintings of Georg Grimm, Nicolau Fachinetti, and José de lima, and the writings of foreign travelers who left records about the region (Marquese, 2007). The picture of the Antinhas plantation, located in Bananal, painted by José de lima, and the narrative which the Portuguese writer Augusto emílio Zaluar produces of the Ribeirão do Frio plantation, belonging to Commander José de Souza Breves, in Piraí, are excellent examples of how the visual composition prepared by Ferrez was in harmony with the visual production of the epoch and focused on plantations as places of production, order, and wealth: Available at the site of lahoi/UFF.…”
