Queluzin kansallispalatsin kasvitieteellinen puutarha, Sintra, PORTUGALI
The Botanical Garden of the National Palace of Queluz, Sintra, PORTUGAL
Queluz kapinoi tyylillään aiempaa, raskaampaa, italialaisvaikutteista barokkia, joka edelsi rokokoota.
In its design, Queluz is a revolt against the earlier, heavier, Italian-influenced Baroque which preceded the Rococo style throughout Europe.
Myöhemmin, kun Ajudan kansallispalatsi tuhoutui tulipalossa vuonna 1794, Queluzin palatsista tuli Juhana VI:n ja tämän perheen virallinen asuinpaikka.
Following a fire at the Ajuda Palace in 1794, the Prince Regent John VI and his wife Carlotta Joaquina began to use Queluz themselves.
Versaillesin on sanottu säteilevän majesteettisuutta, kun taas Queluzin on sanottu olevan "ennemminkin hieno kuin upea" ja näyttävän "erittäin kalliilta syntymäpäiväkakulta".
Comparisons with the far larger and more Baroque Versailles are unwarranted: Versailles is referred to as having "an aura of majesty" and it was built and dedicated to exhibit in stone "all the glories of France," whereas the far smaller palace at Queluz has been described as "exquisite rather than magnificent" and looking like "a very expensive birthday cake".
