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. Some of its members later became accepted by the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture.

gollark: This is not a great analogy. It's not like one person/group could just trivially fix climate change if they weren't terrible people, or something; it's a coordination problem.
gollark: They became sentient in late 2019. Most people haven't noticed.
gollark: Crimes are widely considered bad because they have bad effects on people/cause suffering. I don't agree with causing *more* of that.
gollark: That depends on how much people are committing crimes due to impulse things, and how salient that sort of thing actually is in decision-making wrt. criming crimes.
