Résumé anglais This article examines the historical facts surrounding a painting by Belmiro de Almeida (1858-1935) entitled A Má Notícia [Bad news] from 1897. The myths built around the painting, which was acquired by the State of Minas Gerais in 1987, are discussed to investigate the meanings produced by the image. The notion of constellation of incidents by Veyne (1971), Arendt's (2011) reflections on violence and revolution and the ethos of historical drama in Benjamin (2011) help to illuminate the relations between the contingencies and developments of political life and the narrative of artistic images.
