Academic Painting but Let’S Talk First About What It Was and How It Began
Nineteenth-Century British Art and the Death of the Academic Tradition • This lesson is about the death, or more accurately the gradual decline, of academic painting but let’s talk first about what it was and how it began. • Academic painting was art that was acceptable to the Royal Academy as described by Sir Joshua Reynolds in his lecture series called the Discourses. • The Royal Academy of Arts was founded in 1768 and it exerted an enormous influence over the development of art during the nineteenth century. The equivalent in France was the Académie de peinture et de sculpture ("Academy of Painting and Sculpture") founded by Cardinal Mazarin in 1648 and renamed the Académie des Beaux-Arts (“Academy of Fine Arts”) in 1816. • We look at the ways in which the Royal Academy imposed a hierarchy of genres or types of art and how it created a standard for educating artists and defined what was acceptable in art. Most important for the artist, the Royal Academy created an artist’s reputation and a marketplace. Paintings were exhibited each year at an annual public exhibition. • There were other venues for artists to exhibit their work but it was not until the opening of the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877 that artists had a substantial alternative venue for exhibiting their art in public. • We will also see how many artworks unsettled and eventually destroyed this hierarchy by redefining the genres. Notes Other Societies, Academies and Exhibitions • Dilettante Society, about 1732, Horace Walpole condemned it as a society whose entrance qualifications where having been on the Grand Tour and being drunk.
