Summary

The Portuguese voyages brought about a dramatic revolution; they were the first real interaction among cultures of the world and lead to the creation of strikingly beautiful and highly original works of art. This incredible collection of images features more than 250 full-color reproductions of paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, maps, early books, and many other extraordinary creations. Essays by leading authorities shed new light on the period, especially the motivations behind Portuguese expansion and the remarkable story of the search for Eastern spices. A dazzling look at the New World as it was being created.
