Macao’s Ruins of St. Paul (correct name Church of Madre de Deus) is the only example of Baroque art and architecture in China. This beautifully illustrated book explores anew the now vanished but once renowned Church, as well as the Jesuit university college of which it was part. Both Church and College were destroyed by fire in 1835. From the perspective of the history of art they have remained poorly explored. The author remedies this by imaginatively reconstructing their ground plans, architecture and decoration in the light of new information in original documents that he has found in archives and libraries in Europe and Macao. In his re-creation of the buildings, he illustrates and draws on the evidence of selected Jesuit buildings in Italy, Portugal, Spain and Portuguese India and considers the historical Counter-Reformation environment that eventually led to the College of Madre de Deus in China. The most recent art-historical findings on the Mannerist and Baroque art of the Jesuits in Europe and Iberian colonies are also taken into account. The author, who first identified the surviving façade of the Church as a retable-façade, an unusual type of Iberian and Latin American church façade resembling an altarpiece, brings his argument to its logical conclusion by relating it to the Church’s plan and decoration. An extremely important aspect of the art promoted by the Jesuits, centring on the cult of passive martyrdom, is also candidly discussed. This book will enable the general public to better appreciate the Ruins and provides much of interest and value to scholars, students, architects, art museums and cultural organizations.

This book is the fruit of scholarly research on the Jesuit church of St Paul in Macao (China)and is as such an indispensable source for studies in this field. But the author's deep interest & intimate knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese Baroque art & architecture widens its appeal accordingly. It is addressed to non specialists & specialists alike and is written in flowing prose presenting a clear narrative of this whole period, from the point of view of the history of art. The book therefore casts light on the art-historical significance of this church (though only its facade exists today) and a number of subordinate themes, such as Jesuit architecture in Europe during the Counter Reformation.

The book is well illustrated & beautifully presented and I have no hesitation recomending it.

I am writing this review not so much as a reviewer, but rather to inform readers that this book is being advertised in Amazon books with the wrong book-cover image. All the same, readers should not let this put them off and try to find out for themselves what the book's real merits are, as it is the first of its kind, that is, a proper history of art monograph on Macao's famous Church of St. Paul.
