In Cântico Final, the main character, Mário is torn between the metaphysics of art, the physical dimension of the ruined chapel, the transcendent project of painting it, in an absolute limit situation that is his return to his native village to die. The protagonist proves to be a Vergilian instrument to demonstrate the (meta) physical nature of Art, translated into the transcendence / immanence embodied in the Chapel. In this sense, the narrator is a fundamental piece for understanding the narrative web. In this novel, he establishes an almost metaphysical proximity to the protagonist, letting him spread the author's ideals, namely the value of the work of art. While the book systematically explores the value of art and the mystery surrounding the painting of chapels by non-believing artists, the film pays little attention to it. The film is just a story of a man who painted a chapel, while the book reflects on the mission of art, in line with Malraux's thinking.
