Lot Essay

For a tile panel with a similar 'three-dimensional' design, in-situ in the lower choir of the Church of Sao Roque, attributed to Seville, circa 1596, see José Meco, The Art of Azulejo in Portugal, London, 1988, p. 15, no. 10. The design was popular between circa 1590 and 1625, and as well as in Seville, tiles of this type were also made in Talavera, Catalonia and Valencia.
