Descrição: In the reign of D. João V of Portugal, 1 Lisbon witnessed the triumphal career of a German architect, João Frederico Ludovice, trained in Rome, who by the force of his talents and the influence which he enjoyed with the sovereign, directed the architecture of the court. Contemporary Portuguese architects, inadequately trained in a degenerated Renaissance school, hopelessly behind the times, could not oppose him. He was for a long time the only architect at Lisbon capable of carrying out the great royal commissions with which the king entrusted him. Later he dominated the Italian architects of renown who were invited by D. João V to work in Portugal. Ludovice exercised so profound an influence that any study of Portuguese architecture in the eighteenth century must necessarily begin with a consideration of his own accomplishments. But to establish the importance of his contribution some idea must first be given of the state of architecture at the beginning of D. João V's long reign.
