| Summary | "O culto da arte em Portugal" by Ramalho Ortigão is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the cultural and artistic heritage of Portugal, critically examining the state of its architectural monuments and the societal attitudes towards art during his time. It likely delves into themes of restoration, national pride, and the relationship between art and history, as well as the decline of traditional craftsmanship. The opening portion of the text sets a reflective tone as the author discusses the rich artistic history of Portugal, particularly during the Renaissance and Medieval periods. He details the monumental works—cathedrals, palaces, and public buildings—constructed as expressions of faith and national identity. However, he expresses concern over the neglect and degradation of these works in contemporary society, lamenting the lack of appreciation for cultural heritage and professionalism in restoration practices. Ortigão critiques both the indifferent attitudes of the authorities and the failures in executing restoration efforts, emphasizing the need for a return to a sense of patriotic solidarity and respect for the country's artistic legacy.
