With stunning photography by Nicolas Sapieha. "Built in the 1660s by the first Marquis of Fronteira, Joao de Mascarenhas, the Palace of Fronteira encompasses all that is most quintessentially Portuguese." "This lavish book is devoted entirely to the art and architecture on display there, and the fascinating history that lies behind them.

This book is an inspiration both to students of the decorative arts and to those interested in Portugal's complex history during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries."
