THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ORIENTAL ART IN ROME The Museum has, in fact, a special administrative status – it works as an independent sovrintendenza, an official agency of the Ministry of Fine Arts, with the task of overseeing Asian works of art in Italy and preventing, whenever possible, their illegal export from the country. The new divisions within the Museum represent, thematically and didactically, the arts of the West Asia, India, Pakistan, Tibet, East and Southeast Asia, areas in which the Museum's collections are particularly strong. The Museum is particularly rich in Tibetan material as a result of Tucci's exploration, and currently includes hundreds of manuscripts and thangkas. www.cloudband.com /magazine/articles3q01/mos_salviati_orientalrome_0801.html   (898 words)

The sculpture is based on an earlier work known as the “Farnese” Hercules, carved in the early third century BCE by Glykon of Athens.

The French Academy in Rome Special Topics Page Timeline of Art History The Metropolitan Museum of Art 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. 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. 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. www.metmuseum.org /toah/hd/frac/hd_frac.htm   (695 words)
