Academic art is a style of
painting and
sculpture produced under the influence of European
academies or universities.Specifically, academic art is the art and artists influenced by the standards of the French
Académie des beaux-arts, which practiced under the movements of
Neoclassicism and
Romanticism, and the art that followed these two movements in the attempt to synthesize both of their styles, and which is best reflected by the paintings of
William-Adolphe Bouguereau,
Suzor-Coté,
Thomas Couture, and
Hans Makart. In this context it is often called "academism", "academicism", "
L'art pompier", and "eclecticism", and sometimes linked with "
historicism" and "
syncretism".
