1753. Carta de Diogo de Monroy e Vasconcelos, fidalgo, para André José de Azevedo de Vasconcelos, fidalgo.

Author(s) Diogo de Monroy e Vasconcelos      
Addressee(s) André José de Azevedo de Vasconcelos      
In English

Letter of condolence from Diogo Monroy de Vasconcelos to his nephew André José de Azevedo de Vasconcelos, both noble men.

The author regrets the death of two of the addressee's relatives. He also congratulates him for receiving an inheritance.

After the liberal revolution in Portugal, the state centralized the Art education by merging the teaching of Fine Arts and of Mechanic Arts. The Lisbon National Academy of Fine Arts was founded in this context in 1836 and was inaugurated in the following year. It occupied the building of the extinct Monastery of São Francisco, where a library of thousands of volumes was also available. Although its history was obviously made of changes, the Academy maintained a strong cultural, pedagogical and honorific vocation. Besides forming new artists, the Academy always gave scholarships and prizes and saw to the publication of reference works.

The documentation that we publish from its archival funds belong to a donation made in 1902 by António TomásPires (1850-1913), an ethnographer, writer, politician, and member of the National Monuments committee. He assembled documents from the 16th to the 19th century, among which many private and family letters.

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
