“The Panoramas of the City of Rio de Janeiro, by Vitor Meireles, express not only the city's urban landscape, but suggest a new look at this; like a pictorial window, reveal the landscape as we know it, in a time frame, whose urban matrix is ​​historically situated”, explains educator Amândio Santos.

Pedro II, studied and taught at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts (AIBA), where he trained generations of artists who passed there, before leaving for improvement in Europe.
