Accademia di San Luca, Rome
- Accademia di San Luca, Rome
Founded in
Rome in 1593, the Accademia di San Luca was an association of artists dedicated to
St.
Luke, who was believed to have painted the true portrait of the
Virgin Mary. It replaced the medieval
Guild of Painters, Miniaturists, and Embroiderers, which by now had become antiquated. Its establishment was inspired by the Accademia del Disegno, founded in
Florence in 1562 under the protection of Cosimo I de'
Medici. In turn, the Accademia di San Luca inspired the establishment of the
French Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1648. The purpose of the Accademia was to provide artists with instruction and to regulate standards. The educational curriculum it offered included classes in
perspective, fore-shortening, anatomy, and drawing from both the nude and plaster casts taken from ancient statuary. It also became a place for artists to gather and discuss art theory. It was here that
Pietro da Cortona and
Andrea Sacchi debated the proper depiction of history scenes in c. 1630.
