Resumo
José Joaquim da Veiga Valle (1806-1874) is the most known 19th century artist in Goiás, his
works appear in countless churches and private altars. However, the artist became the synthesis
of an identity (HALL), the “vilaboense” identity, which was built in two moments: with the
transfer of the capital igniting a anti-change movement that evoked an identity for the old
capital and, later, with the process of World Heritage Site. The artist was born in the old village
of Meia Ponte (Pirenópolis), where he received his artistic training and his first political
commitments. In 1841, Veiga Valle moved to the capital of the province, the city of Goiás,
where he continued to act politically and produce his works. After his death, in 1874, Veiga
Valle went through a period of oblivion and his rebirth took place with the transfer of the capital.
In this process, Veiga Valle is linked to the Vilaboense identity, which is evidenced when
analyzing his work from the aesthetics of reception (JAUSS). Newspapers, artists, intellectuals
and memorialists began to place it with the aura of art pieces, more precisely with the Brazilian
Baroque. Based on the assumption of the invention of traditions (HOBSBAWN), in the city of
Goiás this process occurred after the transfer of the capital, a moment in which a search was
made to its past to highlight the city as the cradle of Goiás culture. This process intensifies from
the 60s onwards, when the Vilaboense Organization of Arts and Traditions (OVAT) places itself
as the guardian of Vilaboense tradition and projects the city for tourism, in which the works of
Veiga Valle are placed as one of the main attractions. When the city's patrimonialization process
began in the 1940s, Veiga Valle was once again placed as a fundamental element. The National
Historic and Artistic Heritage Service (SPHAN), in its project to create a national identity, hadthe colonial period and the baroque of Minas Gerais as its basis for listing. In this way, the works
of Veiga Valle were placed within this context and, thus, the city obtained its first heritage sites.
In 2001, the city became a World Heritage Site. For the proposition of his candidacy, the city
of Goiás was shown as the last representative of a period, the golden cycle, and the place that
housed the last representative of the Brazilian Baroque, Veiga Valle.
