Academic Art Screensaver, 365 Paintings

The origins of Academic Art, which gained great popularity during the mid to late 1800s, refers to the work influenced by the standards of the French Académie des Beaux Arts in the attempt to synthesize together both the styles of the preceding, and sometimes conflicting, Neoclassicism and Romanticism movements. A battle of styles known as the Poussiniste Rubiniste debate had been long standing as to whether line and form should dominate art due to their appeal to the intellect, or that spirited application techniques and more importantly color should dominate because of their appeal to emotion. This movement considered already existing idealized mythological, literary, religious, and allegorical subjects as fertile soil, and it assimilated the philosophical idea that history itself could be considered as a collection of allegorical plays and a dialect of competing ideas which had eventually resolved in a synthesis. Artists in this collection include Lawrence Alma Tadema, Lord Frederick Leighton, John William Godward, Albert Moore, William Bouguereau, James Tissot, Alexandre Cabanel , and more.
