De Itália a Portugal, e mais além A colecção de vasos gregos de Francisco Zea Bermudez y Navarro

Abstract

This essay focuses on the collection of Greek ceramics gathered by Francisco Zea Bermúdez y Navarro during the second half of the nineteenth century in Lisbon. Building on the analysis of the auction catalogues held after the collector's death, a holistic view of the collection of more than 50 vases is presented, considering the context of its formation and provenances. As a result, the horizons of knowledge of the effects of the excavations conducted at Vulci, Cerveteri and Tarquinia will be broadened, highlighting the links between the collections of Canino, Fesch, Campana, Zea Bermúdez and the sales that would later take place on the periphery of the antiquities market, in Portugal and Brazil.
