Academic Art is the painting and sculpture produced
under the influence of the European Academies,
where many artists received their formal training.
It is characterized by its highly finished style,
its use of historical or mythological subject
matter, and its moralistic tone. Neoclassical
Art was closely associated with the Academies.
The term "Academic Art" is associated particularly
with the French Academy and its influence on the
Salons in the 19th century. Artists such as Bouguereau
and Jean-Leon Gerome epitomize this style.
