Abstract

Analysis of the painting applied to the Sevillian carriages in the XVIIIth century after a register of 1723 which shows almost six hundred examples. Moreover, their various colours, gilded and silver-plated examples, we study their techniques and authorships, and especially their genres, among them the heraldic, mythological, historical, landscape and decorative painting stand out.
