Académie de Saint-Luc
The Académie de Saint-Luc was the guild of painters and sculptors set up in Paris in 1391, and dissolved in 1776.[1]
It was set up by the Provost of Paris in 1391, along the lines of the Guilds of Saint Luke in other parts of Europe.
The Académie de Saint-Luc was successful, as it attracted the artists who did not have access to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. This was particularly the case for women artists. In the 18th-century, there were 130 female members of the Académie de Saint-Luc, many more than at the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which in 1783 limited its female members to four.
In the 1770s, the success of the Académie de Saint-Luc provoked the enmity of the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which complained to the King and successfully petitioned for the closure of their rival. In February 1776, therefore, the Académie de Saint-Luc was closed on the order of Louis XVI of France. Other version: it was closed according to the Édit de Turgot de 1776 supprimant les corporations with all the others French guilds.
Some of its members later became accepted by the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture.
