          Abstract

          Falar de Lisboa e das artes decorativas conduz-nos aos espaços sacros que povoam esta cidade. A Companhia de Jesus, com seis fundações na capital, notabilizou-se por conceber espaços em que arquitetura e artes decorativas compõem um projeto integrado ao serviço da espiritualidade e propaganda cristã. Um desses edifícios é o Colégio de São Francisco Xavier, fundado em 1682 e adaptado a Hospital da Marinha no final do século XVIII ². Apesar do edifício militar ter sido alvo de vários estudos, a ocupação jesuíta tem sido tratada de forma menos incisiva, bem como o seu acervo decorativo. Por esse motivo, propomo-nos, com esta investigação, analisar fontes primárias de diferentes tipos e proveniências, de forma a coligir os detalhes da fundação e construção do colégio. Propomo--nos também analisar uma igreja com um modelo arquitetónico diferente do que é normalmente atribuído ao templo jesuíta, e que, longe da grandiosidade e fausto de S. Roque e Santo Antão, merece atenção no que se refere à forma como se socorreu do ornamento para dignificar o seu espaço litúrgico.

          Translated abstract

          Speaking of Lisbon and the decorative arts leads us to the sacred spaces that populate this city. The Society of Jesus, with six foundations in the capital, was notable for designing spaces in which architecture and decorative arts make up an integrated project at the service of spirituality and christian propaganda. One such building is the São Francisco Xavier College, adapted to Hospital da Marinha. Although the military building has been the subject of several studies, the Jesuit occupation has been treated less incisively, as well as its decorative heritage. For this reason, we propose, with this investigation, to analyze primary sources of different types and origins, in order to collect the details of the foundation and construction of the college. We also propose to analyze a church with an architectural model different from that normally attributed to the Jesuit temple, and which, far from the grandeur and pomp of S. Roque and Santo Antão, deserves attention in regard to the way in which the ornament dignify its liturgical space.
