Abstract
Durante quarenta e cinco anos, Elysio de Azevedo e Moura [1877-1977] construiu uma sólida carreira profissional repartida entre a Faculdade de Medicina e os Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra. Enquanto a genialidade académica e a capacidade clínica de que gozava o tornaram numa eminente autoridade no campo da Medicina, dentro e fora de Portugal, a total dedicação a uma instituição assistencial em Coimbra, o então denominado Asylo da Infância Desvalida – a atual Casa da Infância Doutor Elysio de Moura –, conferiu-lhe o estatuto de grande benemérito entre a sociedade coeva. Estas mesmas instituições, a par de muitas outras, promoveram inúmeras homenagens oficiais para as quais foram executados conjuntos de bustos e retratos e emitidas coleções de medalhas e caricaturas.
No âmbito da investigação científica conduzida a partir das coleções da Casa-Museu Elysio de Moura, em Coimbra, pretende-se proceder à contextualização histórica e à análise artística da “Galeria de Figuras Médicas”, folhetim humorístico publicado na revista farmacêutica catalã Boletin de los Laboratórios G. Fermé, privilegiando-se, naturalmente, a estampa dedicada a Elysio de Azevedo e Moura.
For forty-five years, Elysio de Azevedo e Moura [1877-1977] built a solid professional career, divided between the Faculty of Medicine and the Hospitals of the University of Coimbra. While the academic geniality and clinical capacity that made him an eminent authority in the field of the Medicine, in Portugal and abroad, the absolute dedication to a charitable institution in Coimbra, the Asylo da Infância Desvalida de Coimbra –currently Casa da Infância Doutor Elysio de Moura –, granted him the status of great benefactor among the contemporary society. These same institutions, along with many others, promoted several official tributes for which sets of busts and portraits were executed and collections of medals and caricatures were issued.
As part of the scientific research carried out based on the collections of the House-Museum Elysio de Moura, in Coimbra, we intend to proceed to the historical contextualization and artistic analysis of the “Medical Figures Gallery”, a humorous feuilleton published in the Catalan pharmaceutical magazine Boletin de los Laboratórios G. Fermé, favouring, naturally, the print dedicated to Elysio de Azevedo e Moura.
