Representação documental de vitrais sacros: proposta metodológica.

As an object of sacred art, stained glass plays a strong artis�tic, historical and cultural influence in the religious context and also as a patrimony of humanity. Because it represents a biblical context, the stained-glass window is not limited to the apparent image, possessing, in this way, specificities in front of other iconic genres. In this sense, the present research offers a model of documentary representation that seeks to guarantee the retrieval of information and access to sacred stained glass from its intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. There�fore, one works with the image of one of the stained glass windows at the Basilica Nossa Senhora do Carmo, located in the city of Campinas/SP, which depicts biblical contents.

As a result, there is a proposal of description that contemplates infor�mation of the artistic image of stained glass related to the biblical passages and the aspects of the ideational content of the works
