January 28, 1892 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the academy of fine arts. There is an Academy of Fine Arts, some members of which are as illustrious as the best-known members of the Academy of Letters. This academy of Fine Arts formed for nearly a century one of the divisions of the Institute of France, but for many years after its foundation (1795) it had no well-defined character or function. A division was reserved for "literature and the fine arts," a sort of Janus-like class, which received the writers as well as the artists; and this third division of the Institute was subdivided into eight sections, four for writers and savants, four for artists.
