Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Commissioned at the end of the 18th century by the wealthy Lisbon merchant Domingos Mendes Dias from the royal architect Manuel Caetano de Sousa, based on information provided by Cyrillo Volkmar Machado2, the construction of the palace, later known as the “Manteigueiro” or the Viscounts of Condeixa, was part of the broader effort to construct or reconstruct buildings in Lisbon following the 1755 earthquake. This text, utilizing unpublished sources, aims to analyze and examine the rapid social ascent of its first owner and the process of commissioning and constructing the palace. It considers both its architectural aspects and those of the decorative arts, as revealed by Domingos Mendes Dias' orphanological inventory. The goal is to demonstrate how the architectural and artistic choices of the commissioner were intertwined with the display of his heraldry, thus highlighting his process of ennoblement.
