Accademia di San Luca, Art museum and artist society in Rome, Italy

The Accademia di San Luca operates from Palazzo Carpegna, housing 500 portraits and an extensive collection of artistic drawings from various periods.

Founded in 1577 as the Accademia de i Pittori e Scultori di Roma, the institution received papal approval to support painters, sculptors, and architects.

The academy maintains a library of 50,000 volumes focused on painting, sculpture, and architecture, collaborating with the Sarti Roman Municipal Library.

The institution relocated to its current location in 1934 due to the construction of Via dell'Impero, making it accessible to researchers and art enthusiasts.

Members submit self-portraits upon acceptance, creating a chronological visual documentation of the academy's artistic membership through centuries.
