Title: Chinese Porcelains of the Santos Palace.
Description: 2022, (24,5 x 28 cm), 480 pp. English text, 610 ills., hardcover. ¶ The Palace of Santos in Lisbon, today the seat of the French Embassy in Portugal, conceals a treasure: a small square lounge, topped with a pyramidal roof in gilded wood, on which are hung nearly three hundred dishes and plates Chinese porcelain with predominantly white and blue decor. Unique in the world, this collection of Chinese porcelain, constituting the incomparable and sumptuous decor of the '_Porcelain Room_' of the Palace of Santos, illustrates the history of ceramic production in China, between the beginnings of the 16th century and the end of of the 18th century, and its trade with Europe. The importation by boat of cargoes of Chinese ceramics as well as many other productions from the 16th century had a considerable economic impact, but above all opened a window on two worlds. Europe then discovered China, and China Europe, via return shipments. These exchanges have also given rise to technological transfers and astonishing artistic creations on European soil. Although this collection constitutes the largest collection of Chinese porcelain that arrived so early in Europe, it is almost unknown to Chinese specialists and a fortiori to the general public, both Chinese and European.
