A large-format coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "The eighteenth century was a true golden age for the visual arts in Portugal. 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.

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.
