The study of the Portuguese artistic production of Early Modern Age has been focused on painting, sculpture, and architecture, on the one hand and, on the other, it has been approached mainly from the point of view of production. This project looks at a much vaster array of objects (including textiles, clothing, jewelry, and metalwork among others) a analysis them from the point of view of the makers but rather that of the consumers. Therefore, the primary sources for this project are inventories, cargo lists or custom records and not the objects themselves.

Goals

This projects aims at determining which works of art did people from the various social groups acquire, where they bought them, how much they paid for them, which ones tey preferred and how did they use them inside their houses.
