Abstract
Sintra tornou-se popular no seio da família real, sobretudo após a dádiva de D. João I a D. Filipa de Lencastre das rendas e das propriedades da vila. Os reis e a corte visitaram-na em várias ocasiões e parecem ter beneficiado particularmente o paço real como residência durante o verão como um lugar tranquilo longe de Lisboa. O reinado de D. Manuel I foi marcado por um forte surto construtivo, capaz de mudar a forma e o perfil decorativo
dos edifícios mais relevantes do ponto de vista histórico. Através da análise da Sala dos Brasões e a sua conexão com o resto do palácio, vamos analisar como o Rei Manuel I quis sublinhar o seu papel político usando uma estratégia específica baseada na arte para promover e celebrar uma ideia de monarquia.
Sintra became popular with the royal family as Queen Philippa of Lancaster received from King João I the rents and the properties of the town. Kings and its court stayed there on a number of occasions and seem to have particularly favoured the royal palace as country residence in summertime as a quiet retreat away from busy Lisbon. The reign of D. Manuel I was marked by a strong constructive outbreak, capable of changing the shape and the
decorative profile of the most relevant buildings from the historical point of view. Through the analysis of the great hall (sala dos brasões) and its connection with the rest of the
palace, we will discuss how King Manuel I wanted to stress his political role by using a specific strategy based on art to promote and celebrate an idea of monarchy.
