Topics of lectures and tutorials include the circumstances leading to the foundation of the Academy and the cultivation of academic discourse; the commitment to an official system for educating young artists, both in France and in Rome; the alliance between art and absolutism; the artist and the courtier; the public display of art and the creation of new audiences; the emergence of criticism; the portrayal of daily life, landscape and erotic subjects in relation to major currents of Enlightenment thought.
