| Summary: | Collections from 18th century drawing schools and art academies have a unique status in the history of French collections. Their specificity relies mainly on the methods used to create them. They are the results of collective actions that created a network of individuals of varying statuses and interest: artists, art lovers, economical and political actors. They show a specific artistic identity, which links collection development to creation in the fine arts and manufactured arts domains. The synthesis written here is a part of the researches by the ACA-RES Program (“Academies of fine art and their relationships in pre-industrial France”).
