Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna is a Swedish art academy in Stockholm . Until 1978 the academy was also responsible for the Kungliga Konsthögskolan Stockholm , which today is solely responsible for the artistic training, while the academy has administrative tasks. Since the Kungliga Academies and the Kungliga Konsthögskolan have the same historical origin, they are treated together here.

Kung League Academies
Konsthögskolan, Skeppsholmen

In 1735 the academy was founded by Carl Gustav Tessin (son of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger ) and the architect Carl Hårleman under the name Kongl. Ritakademien (Royal Academy of Drawing). One of the main subjects was life drawing . In 1768 the architect Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz called for the first recorded meeting of the academy, and in 1773 Gustav III. write the first statutes. The art academy in Paris ( École des Beaux-Arts ) served as a model. Now subjects such as architecture , anatomy , graphics , perspective theory and cultural history were taught, and the small drawing academy was named Kongl. Målare- och bildhuggareakademien (Royal Academy of Painters and Sculptors).

The academy had its heyday in the late 18th century when the great artists of the time, such as Johan Tobias Sergel , taught there. In 1810 the school got its current name: Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna .

In 1864 women were also admitted to the academy, the first being Anna Nordlander . In 1870 the academy moved to its current building at Fredsgatan 12 in the Norrmalm district of Stockholm. After the Royal Technical University of Stockholm opened in 1876, the architecture training moved to this school, and the Stockholm School of Art now offered advanced training focused on architecture, architectural history and restoration. At the end of the 19th century u. a. Carl Larsson and Ernst Josephson the academy. Together with 82 other Swedish visual artists, they tried in vain to reform the school, they became known under the name Opponenterna .

In 1978 the Kungliga Konsthögskolan separated from the academy, and in 1995 the art school moved into its own building on Skeppsholmen in Stockholm.

Goal setting

The original objective was to promote painting, sculpture and architecture in Sweden, including training. This now also includes the administration of his own house and several donations, as well as running a library and arranging exhibitions and lectures. The art academy has a large collection of works of art from the past 270 years, mainly from its own members, as well as a famous collection of ancient plasters and an extensive archive.

The training of the artists has been entrusted entirely to the Royal Art College. This has been an independent university since 1978 and moved into its own building with studios and workshops on Skeppsholmen in 1995.
