Igreja e Convento de Santa Clara do Desterro<br />

Church and Convent of Santa Clara do Desterro<br />

Sacristia. A igreja do<br />

convento do Desterro possui<br />

uma sacristia modesta. No seu<br />

teto há uma pintura antiga, nos<br />

moldes barrocos, em<br />

quadratura, em perspectiva. Foi<br />

feita pelo pintor português<br />

Antônio Simões Ribeiro, que<br />

viera à <strong>Bahia</strong> para pintar a<br />

abóba<strong>da</strong> <strong>da</strong> capela-mor <strong>da</strong><br />

igreja <strong>da</strong> Santa Casa <strong>da</strong><br />

Misericórdia. Marieta Alves<br />

atribuiu ao mesmo artista a<br />

pintura do teto <strong>da</strong> sacristia não<br />

só por causa <strong>da</strong> semelhança do<br />

estilo, mas também por supor<br />

que essa dependência fazia<br />

parte do conjunto <strong>da</strong> igreja, isto<br />

é, que igreja e sacristia estavam<br />

intimamente<br />

relaciona<strong>da</strong>s. Ao<br />

contrário do que<br />

ocorreu com a<br />

pintura do interior<br />

<strong>da</strong> igreja, a <strong>da</strong><br />

sacristia não foi<br />

destruí<strong>da</strong> na<br />

intervenção de<br />

oitocentos.<br />

Como to<strong>da</strong><br />

sacristia, a do<br />

conjunto do<br />

Desterro possui um<br />

Sacristy. The church at the<br />

convent of Desterro has a<br />

modest sacristy. Its ceiling<br />

features an old Baroque<br />

perspective painting in<br />

quadrature. It was made by<br />

Portuguese painter Antônio<br />

Simões Ribeiro, who had<br />

come to <strong>Bahia</strong> to paint the<br />

vault in the main chapel of<br />

the Holy House of Mercy’s<br />

church. Marieta Alves<br />

attributes this painting on the<br />

sacristy ceiling to the same<br />

author, not only because of<br />

the similarities of style, but<br />

also because she assumes this<br />

room to be part of the church<br />

ensemble, that is, that church<br />

Lavabo em pedra de lioz e<br />

mármore de Extremós colorido,<br />

na sacristia.<br />

Lavatory in lioz stone and color<br />

marble of Estremoz at the<br />

sacristy.<br />

and sacristy<br />

were closely<br />

connected.<br />

Unlike the<br />

painting inside<br />

the church, the<br />

one in the<br />

sacristy was not<br />

destroyed during<br />

the mid-1800’s<br />

Like all<br />

sacristies, the one<br />

ensemble<br />

features a stone<br />

lavabo. It is a
