Chapel of St. John the Baptist, Lisbon, Portugal. Considered to be a masterpiece unique in European art, this chapel was ordered from Rome in 1740 by King John V.  At the time of its completion, it was said to be the most expensive chapel in Europe, funded by the crown using the gold and other wealth that flowed to Portugal from Brazil. Precious materials were demanded by the Portuguese court from the very beginning; thus we find several types of ornamental stones: lapis lazuli, agate, antique green, alabaster, Carrara marble, amethyst, purple porphyry, green porphyry, French white-black, ancient breccia, diaspore, and Persian gold-yellow, to name just a few.
