During the 16th century, the treasure chamber of the Middle Ages, where objects of great value were kept in enclosed spaces, evolved into a chamber of wonders where objects took on a different connotation as they were presented in open spaces for the purpose of admiration. Through this new perspective, renovated exhibition spaces emerged that housed a variety of pieces of different nature, which acted as symbols of ostentation for the personal prestige of their owners.
This transformation fuelled interest in exotic objects arriving in the Old Continent via the new maritime routes under the control of the Portuguese and Spanish monarchies. This turned Lisbon and Seville into the new gateways for the "rare" and the "extraordinary" into Europe. This flow of goods resulted in objects made of ivory, feathers, bones, shells and, among others, porcelain, enriching the exceptional collections of the Portuguese and Spanish monarchs, granting them an incomparable uniqueness compared to other European courts.
Within the framework of this research, we will focus our attention on the faience and porcelain that Philip II of Spain and I of Portugal acquired and collected. To this end, we will carry out an exhaustive analysis of the three postmortem inventories of his possessions, preserved with the aim of uncovering his lost collection and highlighting the monarch's outstanding contribution to the field of ceramic collecting in the Habsburg dynasty. |

Durante el siglo XVI la cámara del tesoro de la Edad Media, donde los objetos de gran valor eran custodiados en lugares cerrados, evolucionó hacia una cámara de maravillas donde los objetos adquirieron unas connotaciones diferentes al ser presentados en espacios abiertos con el propósito de ser admirados. A través de esta nueva perspectiva, surgieron espacios de exhibición renovados que albergaban una variedad de piezas de distintas naturalezas, las cuales actuaron como símbolos de ostentación del prestigio personal de sus propietarios. Esta transformación avivó el interés por los objetos exóticos que llegaban al Continente europeo a través de las nuevas rutas marítimas, bajo el control de las monarquías portuguesa y española. Esto convirtió a Lisboa y Sevilla en las nuevas puertas de entrada de lo “raro” y lo “extraordinario” en Europa. Este flujo de bienes dio lugar a que objetos de marfil, plumas, huesos, conchas y, entre otros, la porcelana, enriquecieran las excepcionales colecciones de los monarcas portugueses y españoles, otorgándoles una singularidad incomparable frente a las demás cortes europeas. En el marco de esta investigación, focalizaremos nuestra atención en las lozas y porcelanas que Felipe II de España y I de Portugal adquirió y coleccionó. Para ello, llevaremos a cabo un análisis exhaustivo de los tres inventarios de bienes post mortem, preservados con el propósito de develar su colección perdida y subrayar la destacada contribución del monarca al ámbito del coleccionismo de cerámica en la dinastía de los Austrias. Durante o século XVI, a câmara do tesouro da Idade Média, onde os objetos valiosos eram guardados em espaços fechados, evoluiu para uma câmara de maravilhas, onde os objetos adquiriam diferentes conotações quando apresentados em espaços abertos à admiração. Através desta nova perspectiva, surgiram espaços expositivos renovados que albergavam uma variedade de peças de diferentes naturezas, que funcionavam como símbolos de ostentação do prestígio pessoal dos seus proprietários.Esta transformação alimentou o interesse pelos objetos exóticos que chegaram ao continente europeu através das novas rotas marítimas, sob o controlo das monarquias portuguesa e espanhola. Isto transformou Lisboa e Sevilha nas novas portas de entrada para o "raro" e o "extraordinário" na Europa. Deste afluxo de bens resultaram objectos feitos de marfim, penas, ossos, conchas e, entre outros, porcelana, enriquecendo as excecionais colecções dos monarcas portugueses e espanhóis, conferindo-lhes uma singularidade incomparável em comparação com outras cortes europeias.No âmbito desta investigação, iremos focar-nos nas faianças e porcelanas que Filipe II de Espanha e Filipe I de Portugal adquiriram e colecionaram. Para isso, faremos uma análise exaustiva dos três inventários post-mortem de bens, preservados com o objetivo de desvendar a sua coleção perdida e destacar o contributo excecional do monarca para a coleção de cerâmica durante a dinastia dos Habsburgos.
