Académie des Beaux-Arts
The Académie des Beaux-Arts (French pronunciation: [lakadeˈmi de boˈzaʁ], Academy of Fine Arts) is a French learned society. It is one of the five academies of the Institut de France. The current (2016) President of the Academy is Érik Desmazières - a noted engraver and watercolorist.
The Academy was created in 1816 as a merger of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture (Academy of Painting and Sculpture, founded 1648), the Académie de musique (Academy of Music, founded in 1669) and the Académie d'architecture (Academy of Architecture, founded in 1671).
Currently, the Académie des Beaux-Arts provides several awards including five dedicated prizes:[1]
- Liliane Bettencourt Prize for Choral Singing
- Simone and Cino Del Duca Foundation Prize for Music
- Pierre Cardin Prize for Design
- François-Victor Noury Prize
- Fondation Pierre Gianadda Prize
Previously the Académie granted the Prix Rossini for excellence in libretto or music composition.
