Brazilian architectura d historians have identified in Brazilian architecture a style of classicist nature, adopted during the period ranging broadly from 1810, which has been regarded as the Brazilian version of European Neo-classicism – and therefore has been named Neo-classical – and as a language derived mainly from French models. The have said, at the same time, that the French architect Grandjean de Montigny (who lived in Rio de Janeiro from 18 16 until his death in 1850) was the main propagator of that style and also the most prominent of the designers who made use of it. A careful research that I undertook during more than two years led me to an understanding which differs from these views.
