Description:
A school of drawing and painting has existed in Toulouse since 1680. Dominique Ingres was among students of the school, 1791 to 1796. In 1804 , the school, now Royal Academy of Fine Arts, settled in a part of the former Augustinian convent (now the Musée des Augustins). This was the first provincial art school and the only one designated "royal" outside of Paris. In 1892 the school moved to its present location near La Daurade. The monumental facade, decorated with allegorical statues of Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking and Architecture was added in 1895. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
