Aurélia de Souza Catalogue Raisonné

The survey and study of Aurélia de Souza's complete work was proposed by Professor Raquel Henriques da Silva to the Management of the Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis, in 2018, with the aim of its publication on the occasion of the centenary of the artist's death, which took place in 2022. From the beginning, IHA was associated with this project, through the hiring and payment, as a researcher, of Elena Komissarova, current doctoral candidate at IHA (GI MuSt). Comprising 472 works, including some photographs by Aurélia de Souza, the catalog raisonne by Aurélia de Souza demonstrates the wealth and enormous production of the painter, the result of a long work of identification, photography and cataloguing, developed over the last three years by a team composed of Conservator Ana Paula Machado (MNSR), Conservadora-Restauradora Maria Aguiar (CITAR), and by Art Historians Raquel Henriques da Silva and Elena Komissarova (IHA), who assume the scientific coordination of this volume.
