The cloisters of Belem, Portugal. Photographer: Stuart
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View of part of the interior of the arcade of the cloisters of the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, showing elaborate sculptural decoration of the arches and vaulting. With accompanying letterpress by John Latouche, who is unsympathetic to the exuberant Manueline style: 'The building itself is a marvel of luxuriant ornamentation, but a true artistic taste is repelled by an over-elaboration of detail and of foliage, ornament, and moulding, such as are never found in the simpler decoration of purer times...In the cloisters, however, fine effects of light and shade are produced, in spite of over-loaded detail, as can be observed in the illustration, and the groining of the roof is here singularly fine...'
