Abstract(s)
THE SILVER COLLECTION of the chapel of St John the Baptist in
the church of S. Roque in Lisbon was described by Anna Candiago
as ‘of immense value both for the richness of the material
and for the perfection of its style and technique [. . .] neither in
Italy, nor in Rome itself – strange though that may seem – can
one find a set of silver items that attains such perfection through
a harmonious fusion of artistic elements’.
1 In fact the collection
of Italian Baroque silver that makes up the treasure of this chapel
– now in the Museu de S. Roque, Lisbon – is the only one of its
kind, although the more than forty pieces that are considered in
this article are only part of the original collection. They can be
compared individually with other works of the same period and
with works by the same artists, which is essential for their study
and evaluation.
