Accademia di San Luca, Art museum and artist society in Rome, Italy
The Accademia di San Luca is an art institution and artist society in Rome, located in Palazzo Carpegna. The collection includes approximately five hundred portraits and an extensive selection of artistic drawings from different periods.
The institution was founded in 1577 and originally was called the Accademia de i Pittori e Scultori di Roma. It received papal approval to support painters, sculptors, and architects.
The academy celebrates visual arts through its collection of self-portraits by artists who have been members. These works show how artistic techniques and styles have changed over the centuries.
The location is housed in a historic palace and contains an extensive library of about fifty thousand volumes on painting, sculpture, and architecture. The collection is accessible to researchers and art enthusiasts.
New members submit a self-portrait upon acceptance, creating a chronological visual record of the institution's artistic membership over centuries. This practice turns the archive into a living gallery of artistic development in Rome.
