Originally published in 1940, this book charts the origins and
evolution of academies of art from the sixteenth century to the
first half of the twentieth century. Pevsner expertly explains the
political, religious and mercantile forces affecting the education
of artists in various countries in Western Europe, and the growing
'academisation' of artistic training that he saw is his own day.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the
various historical schools of art instruction and the history of
art more generally.
