Abstract

This article intend to analyze the structuring of mechanical crafts in Portugal and their transplantation to the mining world at the beginning of the 18th century. These jobs, which are extremely necessary in the new construction environment that appeared in the mines of Portuguese America, were adapted to the local social context. It also aims to make some considerations about the very nature of these trades, the context of mining patronage and the organization of artists and craftsmen in the gold region of the Capitania das Minas, in addition to pointing out the trajectory of two artists from Minas Gerais Barroque, whose works are very important, however they are still practically unknown.
