This beautifully illustrated catalogue showcases 126 Spanish and Portuguese artworks from the 17th and 18th centuries, all highlights from the dazzling collection of Roberta and Richard Huber. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum, of Art, the book features works in a variety of mediums and from far-flung places. Included are paintings, silver works, and furniture from South America and sculptures in ivory from the Spanish Philippines and from Portuguese territories in India.
