Florence Academy of Art

There are several cheap hotels close to the Florence Academy of Art Universities. The Academy was set-up by the artist Daniel Graves in 1991. It is located on 21 Via della Casine. At the academy beginning, intermediate and advanced students are provided with the highest level of instruction in classical drawing, painting and sculpture. From anyone interested in figurative realism and the realistic tradition, the studio demands a return to discipline in art and to the direct study of nature just as what was available to and from the Old Masters as a solid foundation. The small groups of international students receive training from faculty members who are professional artists, and who themselves are graduates of the Florence Academy of Art in this city that is renowned for its artistic past.
