From the 17th century onwards, with the restoration of independence in 1640, azulejos gained prominence in Portuguese architecture, especially in new palace residences. Polychromatic compositions of Dutch tradition stood out, and for nearly 50 years, monumental sets of azulejos were imported from the Netherlands. Reacting to external competition, national workshops hired academically trained painters, starting the cycle of the masters.
In the second half of the 18th century, azulejo production saw unprecedented growth, resulting in large cycles of historiated panels. In churches, azulejos covered all surfaces, creating an aesthetic complement to the gilded woodwork of Portuguese Baroque.
