Paintings in coffered ceilings – XVII and XVIII centuries. The Church of the former convent of the Savior

Main Article Content

Abstract

Paintings in coffered ceilings spread from North to South of Portugal since the first quarterof the XVII century until as late as the beginning of the XIX century. The evolution of this kind of painting followed the dominant artistic styles of the period, largely due to the presence of foreign artists, and in some cases linked to provincial workshops.The master thesis study provides a better understanding of the painting of the coffered ceilings, especially in the North, and points out aspects which ought to be taken into account for their preservation and maintenance, as well as for the future possibility of distinction of authorship and artistic groups.
