Russian Academy of Art, Florence and St. Petersburg
The Russian Academy of Arts mission is to teach fundamental principals, methods and techniques of classical art, diligently transmitted over the centuries since the Italian Renaissance. Our academic program provides thorough training in anatomy, composition, chromatics, perspective, painting, constructive drawing, and sculpture and study of the works of Old Masters. With this solid framework, students can thus develop their own individual style and creative expression, becoming in essence New Masters.
Our Academy is established in Florence, which offers a rich, stimulating environment for the study of art. Here one can be in direct contact with the original works of masters such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli who emerged, lived and worked in Florence. The Galleria degli Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and several other museums feature among the most prominent art collections in the world. In addition to aesthetic and technical excellence, we encourage our students to grasp the vital importance of the spiritual, humanist and Christian values that motivated and inspired the great Masters.
Our instructors are highly qualified with vast experience in the arts and trained in art academies in Russia. The classes are held in both Russian and English.
