Abstract(s)
The three major groups of Roman Baroque silver commissioned during the reign (1706–50) of John V of Portugal were
made respectively for the chapel of St John the Baptist in the
church of S. Roque in Lisbon,
1 for the basilica of the Royal
Palace of Mafra, and for the Patriarchate of Lisbon. Elevated to
the status of the Patriarchate basilica on 7th November 1716 by
Clement XI’s papal bull ‘In supremo apostolatus solio’, and finally
consecrated on 13th November 1746, the Patriarchate was
particularly cherished by the king and consequently greatly
enriched with works of art, among them many outstanding
silver objects. These were commissioned for the building even
before those for Mafra and commissions continued throughout
the first half of the eighteenth century, at the same time that the
silver for the chapel of St John the Baptist was being made.
