Tempora mutantur

Intet resumé

Elke tijd vraagt om zijn eigen godsdienstige opvoeding, maar waarden verouderen niet

Patrimônio iconográfico: um olhar para as pinturas de Pedro Weingärtner como lugar da memória e identidade

Pedro Weingärtner foi um artista gaúcho que viveu na transição do século XIX para o século XX, entre idas e vindas entre Brasil e Europa.
