Académie des Beaux-Arts
The Académie des Beaux-Arts (French pronunciation: [akademi de boz‿aʁ], Academy of Fine Arts) is a French learned society. It is one of the five academies of the Institut de France. The current President of the Academy (2016) is Érik Desmazières, a noted engraver and watercolorist.
Background
The Academy was created in 1816 in Paris 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).
Awards
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.
