Resumo(s)
O Palácio dos Condes da Calheta está localizado na freguesia de Santa Maria de Belém, em
Lisboa, e situa-se na parte superior do Jardim Botânico Tropical (da Universidade de Lisboa).
Supõe-se que a sua construção, por determinação dos Condes da Calheta, remonta a meados
do século XVII. Desde então, foi objeto de várias campanhas arquitetónicas e decorativas, o
que explica a aplicação, em quase todas as salas, de importantes revestimentos azulejares, de
diferentes épocas.
O presente trabalho de projeto teve como principal objetivo inventariar e catalogar estes
conjuntos azulejares, temporalmente enquadrados entre o terceiro quartel do século XVII e
os finais do século XVIII, assim como desenvolver uma investigação detalhada sobre as
campanhas decorativas que envolveram a aplicação de azulejos, relacionando-as com a
história do próprio edifício.
O trabalho organiza-se em sete capítulos. Após a introdução, em que se definem os objetivos
e a metodologia usada, o primeiro traça o estado da arte, começando por abordar o edifício,
passando seguidamente para o património azulejar que se encontra no seu interior. O
segundo capítulo descreve uma visão integrada sobre o Palácio da Calheta, organizando-se
em função dos seus proprietários e respetivas campanhas, até ao início do século XVIII, a que
se segue a análise dos azulejos deste período. O quarto capítulo continua a seguir a cronologia
da evolução histórico-artística do edifício, ou seja, desde que o palácio passou para a posse da
Casa Real até à Implantação da República, seguindo-se, no capítulo cinco, a respetiva análise
das intervenções em azulejo. O capítulo seis carateriza a última fase do imóvel, já no século
XX, em que o palácio foi reutilizado como museu. Por fim, na conclusão destacam-se as
principais novidades desta investigação, apontando ainda algumas vias de investigação futura.
The Palace of the Counts of Calheta is located in the parish of Santa Maria de Belém, in Lisbon, on the northern end of the Tropical Botanical Garden (of the University of Lisbon). Its construction was commissioned by the Counts of Calheta and is thought to date back to the mid-17th century. Since then, it was the object of several architectural and decorative interventions, which explains the presence, in almost all of its rooms, of important tile coverings from different periods. The main goal of this project was to inventory and catalogue these coverings, created between the third quarter of the 17th century and the late 18th century, as well as to carry out a detailed investigation of the decorative interventions that involved the application of tiles and to situate them within the building’s history. The work is divided into seven chapters. After the introduction, which sets out the main objectives and the methodology used, Chapter 1 describes the state of the art, focusing first on the building itself and then on its tile decorations. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive characterization of the Calheta Palace, starting with the identification of its owners and architectural interventions until the beginning of the 18th century and proceding to examine the tile coverings from this period. The building’s historical and artistic evolution is further characterized in Chapter 4, from the year in which the palace became a possession of the Portuguese Royal House to the establishment of the First Republic, whilst Chapter 5 analyses the tile coverings dating from this period. Chapter 6 focuses on the building’s evolution during the 20th century, when it was turned into a museum. Finally, the conclusion highlights the work’s main scientific contributions and identifies future research paths.
