Azulejos de Lisboa
by Laura E. Drake
Experience the vibrant soul of Lisbon through its most iconic artistic treasure: the azulejo.
From the sun-drenched façades of historic churches and buildings, to the intricate patterns beneath your feet on the city’s calçadas, this collection captures the "Radiant Tiles" of Portugal in intimate detail. Rather than a distant architectural study, these photographs offer a pedestrian’s perspective—weaving through winding alleys and scaling the city’s famous hills to highlight the textures, colors, and living history that define Lisbon’s identity.
Inside this Volume:
A Curated Journey: 50 pages featuring 41 vibrant close-ups of hand-painted tiles and 6 photographs of the city’s historic decorative sidewalks.
Cultural Immersion: A celebration of a timeless decorative tradition that continues to shape the city's aesthetic.
Lisbon's Neighborhoods: The final page lists the specific neighborhoods where the photographs were captured.
Wrapped in a soft-cover matte finish, this book is a wonderful companion for lovers of travel photography, design, and architectural history. Take a piece of Lisbon’s radiant heritage home with you.
