	French Academy in Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Academy was founded in 1666 by Louis XIV under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Charles Le Brun and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
		The French Academy in Rome was through the nineteenth century the culmination of study for select French artists who, having won the prestigious Prix de Rome (Rome Prize), were honored with a 5-year scholarship in the Eternal City for the purpose of the study of art and architecture.
		One well-known director of the Academy was Balthus.

		Its significance was underscored by the establishment of the Prix de Rome in 1674, an award given to the most promising painters, sculptors, and (after 1720) architects, for a period of three to five years of study in Rome.
		In the political turmoil following the Revolution of 1789, the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture was abolished in 1793 by decree of the National Convention—an act ardently advocated by David—and the Prix de Rome was suspended until 1797.
		Ironically, the subsequent history of the Academy's Roman counterpart would be shaped largely by David's students, culminating in 1834 with the appointment of Ingres as director of the French Academy in Rome.

	Jacques Louis David - LoveToKnow 1911
		JACQUES LOUIS DAVID (1748-1825), French painter, was born in Paris on the 30th of April 1748.
		Under him David studied for some years, and, after several attempts to win the prix de Rome, at last succeeded in 1775, with his "Loves of Antiochus and Stratonice." Vien, who had just been appointed director of the French Academy at Rome, carried the youth with him to that city.
		At the outbreak of the Revolution in 1789, David was carried away by the flood of enthusiasm that made all the intellect of France believe in a new era of equality and emancipation from all the ills of life.

	American Academy in Rome - SourceWatch
		The American Academy in Rome (AAR)resulted from the 1913 merger of the American School of Architecture (founded 1894) and the American School of Classical Studies (founded 1895).
		"The American Academy in Rome is one of the leading American overseas centers for independent study and advanced research in the fine arts and the humanities.
		Rome was chosen as the site of the Academy because 'with the architectural and sculptural monuments and mural paintings, its galleries filled with the chef d'oeuvres of every epoch, no other city offers such a field for study or an atmosphere so replete with precedents.'"[1]

		As, in this matter, the behavior of the authorities of the French Academy in Rome had been dictated by the tradition of subservience to authority, he used his influence to get it suppressed.
		Thus the man who was so greatly indebted to the Roman academy and to Louis XVI assisted in the destruction of both, no doubt in obedience to a principle, like the act of Brutus in condemning his sons -- a subject he painted with all his powers.
