The Lisbon School of Fine Arts (Escola de Belas-Artes de Lisboa) was a university-level school for painting, sculpture and architecture. It started life in 1836 as part of the National Academy of Fine Arts (Academia Nacional de Belas-Artes) and, since 1992, has formed the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon (Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa). Many of Portugal's most famous artists have passed through the school.
