Detailed Description
Academicism, also called academic art, is a style of painting, sculpture, and other arts that dominated Western art from the 19th century to the early 20th century. It is characterized by an emphasis on realism and the careful study of the human figure. Academic artists believed that art should be realistic and based on careful observation of the world around them. They often copied the works of earlier masters, such as the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Some of the most famous academic artists include French painters Jean-Léon Gérôme and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and American painter John Singer Sargent. Gérôme is known for his highly detailed and realistic paintings of ancient Egypt and the Middle East. Bouguereau was a master of the human figure, and his paintings often depicted scenes from classical mythology. Sargent was one of the most successful portrait painters of his day. The academic style fell out of favor in the early 20th century, as artists began to experiment with more abstract styles of art.
