FLOR (Pedro). A ARTE do Retrato em Portugal nos Séculos XV e XVI. Lisboa. 2010. - FLOR (Pedro) A ARTE do Retrato em Portugal nos Séculos XV e XVI . Prefácio de Vítor Serrão. Lisboa: Assírio & Alvim, 2010. 368 pp.: il.; 300 mm. This monographic study examines the history of portraiture in Portugal between the end of the Middle Ages and the first half of the 16th century, based on the author's doctoral thesis in Modern Art History. The work analyzes approximately one hundred examples of the genre, placing them within a European context and identifying the mechanisms of influence exerted by foreign artists working in Portugal – notably Anthonis Mor, who portrayed the court of King John III in 1552 – and the exchanges between the Iberian crowns. The circulation of Francisco de Holanda's aesthetic ideals within courtly circles and the role of royal patronage are addressed with methodological rigor. Foreword by Vítor Serrão.
