Informations supplémentaires

Patterned tiles have been used architecturally in numerous ways in Portugal, on the facades of the smallest and the largest buildings, sometimes plain and often with a staggering richness. The Azulejo art seems to have originated among the Assyrians in the times before Christ. From them it apparently was learned by the Persians, who taught it to the Arabs, who brought it to Europe through their invasion of Iberia. By the eighteenth century the Portuguese led Europe in the production of azulejos, which is as much as to say that they led the world in this artistic endeavor, and this was just the height they reached when the earthquake of 1755 destroyed the best factories and with it the Portuguese leadership in the field.
