Académie Suisse

The Académie Suisse was an art school founded by Charles Suisse in 1815,[1] and was located at the corner of the Quai des Orfévres and the Boulevard du Palais, in Paris, France. From Delacroix to Cézanne, most major French artists frequented this place to meet colleagues or to study after the models supplied.

History

According to Monneret, Charles Suisse was a former model of Jacques-Louis David.[2][3] The Académie Suisse school was smaller and more informal than the École des Beaux Arts, where many students went on to continue their studies.[4]

In 1870, Suisse sold the art school location to Italian sculptor Filippo Colarossi, and it became the Académie Colarossi.[5]
