Azulejo artists across the centuries have been influenced by changing artistic and fashion styles, from the Manueline period—with its blend of Gothic, Moorish, and exotic Indian motifs—to Modernism and later 20th-century movements. Sixteenth-century tiles were often decorated with mythological and biblical narratives, scenes from the lives of saints, hunting scenes, and allegorical compositions. Azulejos became widely used in church interiors, particularly around altars, where ceramics imitated luxurious textiles. Yet one element has remained constant throughout the history of azulejo: the flower. From Islamic arabesques to modern and futuristic interpretations, the flower shifts between discreet ornament and central protagonist, telling, across the centuries, a timeless story of beauty.
