A formação do artista no Brasil: um estudo sobre a institucionalização

Abstract

This work intends to approach the emergence of art academies as an initiative to scientifically base artistic practice, differentiating it from the manual activity to which artisans were linked. Starting from the transformation that took place in the social status of art during the period known as the Renaissance, artists claimed for painting and sculpture a place among the liberal arts. I seek to investigate how the Italian and French academic models influenced the creation of the first institution format for the teaching of Art in Brazil in the 19th century.
