		It is not as fashionable as was the case in earlier centuries, and has been largely ignored by the trendy Brit Artists and their patrons; however Tracey Emin exhibited in the 2005 show.
		Full membership of the academy is limited to 80 Academicians or "RAs", who may be painters, printmakers, sculptors, or architects, and must be "professionally active in Britain".

		West's election as second president of the Royal Academy, after Reynolds's death in 1792, was a foregone conclusion.
		The artist grasps a paper marked with the royal command of 1768, by which the academy was constituted (suggesting his instrumental role in winning the king's patronage), while books inscribed "Bible" and "History of England" evoke the subject matter of West's paintings for Windsor Castle.
		The work summarized West's accomplishments; the royal privilege and professional rank that situated him, by 1792, as far as he could possibly have been from his modest American origins.
