"The Portuguese voyages brought about a dramatic revolution; they were the first real
interaction among the cultures of the world in modern times and led to the creation
of strikingly beautiful and highly original works of art. This incredible collection
of images, drawn from a new Smithsonian exhibition, features more than 250 full-color
reproductions of paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, maps, early books, and many other
extraordinary creations from museums and private holdings around the world. Essays
by leading authorities shed new light on the period, especially on the motivations
behind Portuguese expansion, including the remarkable story of the search for Eastern
spices. Altogether, this book offers an unforgettable insight into a new world during
its formation."--BOOK JACKET
