Description:

On the occasion of the 500-year commemoration of the death of King Manuel I of Portugal, this panel addresses the architectural developments brought forth during the age of the Portuguese Explorations, particularly the creation of the architectural style known as “Manueline” that has been identified as uniquely Portuguese. From this point of departure, the symbolic iconography of power staged by Manuel I in the complex mosaic of early 16th century Europe is discussed, together with the construction of its associated narratives that persist until the present day.
