ACADEMIE JULIAN

1867 - 1968

The Académie Julian at the Passage des Panoramas was founded in Paris, France, in 1867 by French painter and teacher Rodolphe Julian (1839–1907) as a private studio school for art students for painting and sculpture that was active from 1868 through 1968. Académie Julian opened schools in other locations in addition to the original school at Passage des Panoramas, studios were at 5 Rue de Berri in the 8th arrondissement, 31 Rue du Dragon in the 6th arrondissement and 51 Rue Vivienne in the 2nd arrondissement for female student artists which were overseen by painter Amélie Beaury-Saurel, Rodolphe Julian's wife. It remained famous for the number and quality of artists who attended during the early twentieth century. In 1880 women were accepted by the new Académie Julian as were foreign applicants who had been deterred from entering the École Des Beaux Arts by the stringent French language examination. Men and women were initially trained separately, and women participated in the same studies as men, including drawing and painting of nude models. The early success of the Académie was also secured by the famous and respected artists whom Rodolphe Julian employed as instructors including Adolphe William Bouguereau (1825–1905). Eventually, Académie Julian students were granted the right to compete for the Prix de Rome, a prize awarded to promising young artists and to participate in the major art exhibitions and it nurtured some of the best artists of the day. After 1968, it integrated with ESAG Penninghen at 31 Rue du Dragon, 75006 Paris.
