The Burlington Magazine. No. 1289 – Vol 152 (August 2010). ISSN 0007-6287, pp. 528-535.0007-62872044-9925http://hdl.handle.net/10451/35837THE 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.engjournal article
