Zusammenfassung:This article is an iconological analysis of the painting "Jesus offers comfort to Saint Teresa and speaks about the founder saints of the orders", painted by Joao de Deus e Sepulveda in the eighteenth century, and located in the Church of the Third Order of Carmel of Recife. The methodology was based on Rafael Garcia Mahiques's reading of Erwin Panofsky's iconology inspired, the first, by Omar Calabreses's take on the intertextuality of iconography. By using concepts that are contemporary with the painting, such as decorum, ingenuity, and marvel, the article attempts to understand the panel in the context of its production, recognizing it as a social-cultural construct which exerts and exposes the symbolic power of the Third Order. Keywords: Sepulveda; Iconology; Recife; Third Order; Carmelites. O presente artigo realiza uma abordagem iconologica da pintura setecentista "Jesus consola Santa Teresa falando sobre os santos fundadores de ordens", de autoria do pintor pernambucano Joao de Deus e Sepulveda, na Igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo do Recife. Utilizou-se como ferramenta metodologica a iconologia de Erwin Panofsky renovada pelos estudos de Rafael Garcia Mahiques baseando-se na intertextualidade da iconografia como proposto por Omar Calabrese. Utilizando-se de conceitos contemporaneos a feitura da imagem, como decoro, engenho e maravilha, buscou-se compreender o painel em seu contexto de producao, percebendo-o como uma construcao sociocultural, parte de uma intrincada composicao em que os terceiros buscavam exercer e expandir o seu poder simbolico. Palavras-chave: Sepulveda; Iconologia; Recife; Ordem Terceira; Carmelitas.
