The discovery of fabulous deposits of gold, diamonds, and emeralds in Brazil suddenly made Portugal's court the wealthiest in all of Europe, enabling patronage of the arts on a lavish scale. This handsome volume is the first major work in English to be devoted to this period of Portuguese art and history. Written by historians such as Kenneth Maxwell and specialists in art and architectural history such as Hellmut Wohl and Jennifer Montagu, the book tells the story of this unique age-its politics, society, and history. Focusing on the reigns of King Joao V, who ruled from 1706 to 1750, and King Jose I, who ruled from 1750 to 1777, the book reproduces and discusses more than one hundred works of art-including paintings, architecture, sculpture, furniture, ceramics, silver, jewelry, and textiles-that illustrate the extraordinary quality of Portuguese artistic production and patronage." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Portugal in the 18th Century, Kenneth Maxwell; the Portugese commercial empire - an overview, by John Russell-Wood; John V and Papal Rome, by A.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. The Age of the Baroque in Portugal (1993), edited by Jay A. Levenson, is the catalog of a landmark exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., that introduced international audiences to the richness of Portuguese art in the sev…enteenth and eighteenth centuries. Bringing together paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, architecture, and religious works, the volume highlights how Portugal's Baroque culture was shaped by wealth from its overseas empire, deep Catholic devotion, and strong ties to Italian and Flemish artistic traditions. Essays by leading scholars provide historical context and thematic analysis, while detailed catalog entries and illustrations showcase the splendor and diversity of Portuguese Baroque art, presenting it as both a distinct national expression and part of the broader European Baroque world.
