Topic: Academie Colarossi


  
  Académie Colarossi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Académie Colarossi is an art school founded by the Italian sculptor, Filippo Colarossi.
Located at 10 rue de la Grande-Chaumière in Paris, France, it was established in the nineteenth century as an alternative to the government sanctioned École des Beaux Arts that had, in the eyes of many promising young artists at the time, become far too conservative.
Along with the Académie Julian, the Colarossi school accepted female students and allowed them to draw from the nude male model.

 WATERHOUSE: A Waterhouse Sketch Discovered – by Scott Thomas Buckle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Angelo Colarossi was born in Italy in 1839, but soon found himself part of a community of fellow countrymen whose classical looks made them sought-after models for leading British artists of the day.
One may assume then that Colarossi would have posed for Waterhouse during his 'classical' period, and this seems to be borne out by his appearance in the background of the 1883 painting 'The Favourites of the Emperor Honorius' (Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide).
Colarossi had died back in 1916, a year before Waterhouse's own death – both men probably quite aware by then that the art movement that they were part of was already becoming a thing of the past.
