Eugênio de Proença Sigaud (1899 - 1979), from Minas Gerais, is known as the painter of laborers, intensely and militantly exploring a clearly social theme in his canvases and murals. He depicted workers in their productive context, amidst constructions with iron structures, concrete, scaffolding, typical of construction sites, but also in the streets, amidst traffic, in factories, railways, bridges, shipyards, and then moving from the city to the countryside. He worked with architect Lúcio Costa in 1931, participated in the Grupo Portinari in 1935, supported communist candidate Carlos Prestes in 1946, and produced numerous important works, exhibited in Brazil and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I am a communist and an engineer; I have always dealt with laborers, which explains the choice of my themes.

It is, above all, a conscious and firm attitude, a purpose with artistic, political, and social objectives. With it, I especially celebrate the magnitude and grandeur of the humble work of the laborer, this anonymous worker in all sectors of the greatness of the Homeland.

Most of the gang members were arrested, and Biggs was sentenced to 30 years in prison and only a portion of the money was found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 15 months of detention, he managed to escape from prison using a rope ladder. He fled to Paris, where he underwent plastic surgery to change his face and acquire a new identity. Later, in 1970, he moved to Australia, but was recognized by a journalist and left Australia for Brazil, leaving behind his wife and two children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost penniless in Rio de Janeiro, without a work visa and obliged to report to the police twice a week, Ronnie Biggs began selling his story for interviews and to tourists. Taking advantage of Brazilian laws, which prohibited the extradition to England of a foreigner who was the father of a Brazilian child, for 40 years Biggs shamelessly led a public life in Brazil. In addition, he made several visits to England, under a false identity, for the filming of a documentary about the Great Train Robbery. Ronnie Biggs lived in Santa Teresa, a bohemian neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, in a house with a pool and city views, where he organized numerous parties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiggs's personality was very controversial: some admired his audacity for the robbery, the prison escape, and the 36 years on the run, defying authorities and living freely in Brazil. Others detested his attitude of a bandit mocking the law and remembered that Jack Mills, the train driver, who had been beaten with an iron bar, never fully recovered and died of leukemia seven years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being a letter written by a fugitive hidden in Brazil, Biggs's story and the particularly relevant content of this letter - in the form of a confession - make it a unique collector's item and, perhaps, an educational act? Indeed, Ronnie Biggs explains why he participated in the robbery - \u003cem\u003e\"to get my hands on a lot of money and solve my financial problems\"\u003c\/em\u003e - but he also clearly shows regret by telling G.

Versatile, plural and restless, he built his work in harmony with nature. He began his contextualized ideal in 1865, when he opened, in an improved form, the “Casa Marc Ferrez \u0026amp; Cia” in his hometown. He married the Frenchwoman Marie Lefebvre in 1873, the year in which his studio was destroyed by a fire. This tragedy did not inhibit his persistence in continuing his art. He went to Paris, bought new equipment and gave wings to success, contemplating the position of photographer for the Geological Commission and starring in several works that absorbed the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Tijuca Forest was his inspiration for the creation of several works. In 1861, Dom Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, created a program to recover the area, which had been deforested to make charcoal. The construction of this project, which lasted about 13 years, relied on the help of 100,000 slaves. Today, the Forest is one of the main tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro, a lush space with diverse plants, giant trees and waterfalls, an important place for the locals. It also regulates the climate of the Marvelous City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This photo, called “Tijuca La Floresta,” signed by Marc Ferrez, is a rare piece of work. It was produced and titled on a plate, printed on albumen paper. The figure of the man, who gazes statically, seems ecstatic with that skyscraper amidst light and shadows. It is impossible to imagine that it is anyone other than Marc Ferrez, in love with what his eyes see.

These injuries, which had been accumulating over the years due to his aggressive and skillful style of play, began to significantly affect his performance on the field. Garrincha underwent knee surgeries that, unfortunately, failed to fully restore his physical condition. His performance began to decline, and he was no longer the decisive player he had been before. Although he was still respected and admired, the 1960s marked the beginning of the decline of his career, which had reached its peak during the 1958 and 1962 World Cups, in which he played a crucial role for Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn his personal life, 1963 was also a turbulent year for Garrincha.

At the end of that year, he began a romantic relationship with the famous singer Elza Soares, which caused quite a bit of controversy at the time. His alcohol abuse also damaged his relationship with Botafogo, which began looking for a buying club. Juventus and Internazionale tried to acquire the player, with Inter almost closing the deal, but the Nerazzurri club was unable to sell its foreigners for a good price.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat about Cané? The Brazilian player known as Cané, who played in Italy in the 1960s, was Roberto Pinto. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he began his career in Brazilian football before moving to Italy, where he made a name for himself. Cané is best known for his time at Napoli, where he played from 1962 to 1969. He was one of the first Brazilian players to make it big in Italian football and became a key figure at Napoli, where he was admired for his technical ability, speed and goal-scoring ability.

Calixto painted numerous colonial and historical scenes, but most of his large compositions are related to São Vicente, Santos, São Paulo, and the São Paulo coast; as far as is known, no finished painting by Calixto directly depicts the pillory of Rio de Janeiro.

It was most likely produced between 1895 and 1915, a period in which Benedito Calixto dedicated himself to projects of historical memory, consulted Debret's works, and produced documentary studies for his compositions and institutional commissions.  It accurately depicts the pillory of the old Praça do Rossio in Rio de Janeiro, a symbolic monument of the colonial period that no longer exists. The rarity of the piece lies in the combination of the meticulous drawing and the explanatory text handwritten in French, highlighting Calixto's direct access to original sources and his concern for preserving the visual memory of the country. It is a unique testament to his practice as an artist and researcher, uniting art and historical scholarship in an exceptional medium, difficult to find in both private collections and institutional archives.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62513774919839,"sku":"619a","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/files\/textoedesenhobeneditocalixto1a.jpg?v=1759015698"},{"product_id":"grande-fotografia-panoramica-do-rio-de-janeiro-1875-1890","title":"Large panoramic photograph of Rio de Janeiro (1875-1890) ","description":"\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-ab140335-7fff-2d88-da40-ade54a3c8b53\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the end of the 19th century, Rio de Janeiro consolidated itself as a commercial and maritime center.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLarge panoramic photograph of Rio de Janeiro, probably by Marc Ferrez.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 55 × 26 cm (stand) \/ 46.5 × 17 cm (image).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eRio de Janeiro, between 1875 and 1890.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eExcellent condition; the photograph has been cleaned by a professional restorer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eUnique piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis panorama presents a wide view of the port of Rio de Janeiro, observed from Morro do Castelo, one of the city's most emblematic landmarks in the 19th century, a hill entirely demolished in 1922. To the left, the bay appears intensely occupied by sailing ships and commercial vessels, with Sugarloaf Mountain clearly visible in the background. In the center, the docks, warehouses, and public buildings linked to port activity stand out, while towers of Baroque churches punctuate the horizon of the historic center; in the background, Corcovado, in the Tijuca Forest, where Christ the Redeemer would be inaugurated in 1931. To the right, a more industrial area, identifiable by a tall chimney probably associated with the Arsenal, completes the composition, enriched in the foreground by rooftops, sloping streets, and colonial houses, creating a striking contrast between the urban fabric and the monumentality of the port facilities. The panorama currently corresponds to the neighborhoods of Centro and Saúde, with a visual extension to Gamboa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe combination of stylistic and technical characteristics strongly points to an attribution to Marc Ferrez (1843–1923). Few photographers in Brazil mastered, as he did, the creation of views of this magnitude, with the use of specific equipment and the careful assembly of albumen prints. The balanced composition, the uniform sharpness throughout the image, the richness of detail, and the ability to integrate relief, port, and urban fabric are recurring hallmarks of his work, also present in panoramas preserved at the Instituto Moreira Salles and the National Library, making this attribution the most coherent hypothesis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-6e6a9173-7fff-6ae2-1de5-a5a87a23b775\"\u003eFew 19th-century albumen panoramas of this scale, especially those assembled from multiple images, have survived.
