Creators
unknown (Portuguese ceramist)
Description
An example of the "Large Scale Production" from the reign of João V, this panel has a theatrical design within an architectural framework that simulates carved wood and masonry decorations. This creates an illusion of a stage. The cycle showing the battles of Alexander was very popular at this time and several tile panels are known to have been based on engravings after Charles le Brun's paintings in the collection of Louis XIV. Produced in Lisbon. (Source: Google Arts & Culture [website]; https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/)
