Joaquim Murtinho (December 7, 1848 – February 19, 1911, born Joaquim Duarte Murtinho Nobre)[2][3] was a Brazilian physician and politician.[4] Murtinho was born in Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso, and moved to Rio de Janeiro for his education. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Rio de Janeiro and became a physician and later a politician. Murtinho initially served as Minister of Industry, and Commerce (1899–1902) under president Prudente de Morais; then pursued austerity measures as Minister of Finance (1898–1902) under president Campos Sales. Murtinho also served two non-consecutive terms as senator for Mato Grosso, 1890–1896 and 1903–1911.[1][5]
Murtinho's Imperial-period birth home, Casa Dom Aquino, is preserved in Cuiabá and is the only of its type remaining in the city.[3] It is also the birthplace of Dom Francisco de Aquino Correia (1885–1956), the archbishop of Cuiabá and a cultural figure; the house is named "Predestination House" (Casa Predestinada) by historians[4] for producing two of the most important figures in the modern history of Mato Grosso. Murtinho is noted as a pioneer of homeopathic medicine in Brazil and published extensively on the topic. The historian Rubens Mendonça called Murtinho the "greatest Brazilian statesman in the Republican period."[2][5]
His name adorns a number of public spaces in Brazilian cities, most notably Joaquim Murtinho Street in Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro,[6] and a homonymous street in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso;[7] as well as a centenary public school in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul.[8]
