    Main article: Art in Paris

    Pierre Mignard, Self-portrait, between 1670 and 1690, oil on canvas, 235 188 cm, Louvre

    For centuries, Paris has attracted artists from around the world, who arrive in the city to educate
    themselves and to seek inspiration from its vast pool of artistic resources and galleries. As a
    result, Paris has acquired a reputation as the "City of Art".[189] Italian artists were a profound
    influence on the development of art in Paris in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in
    sculpture and reliefs. Painting and sculpture became the pride of the French monarchy and the
    French royals commissioned many Parisian artists to adorn their palaces during the French
    Baroque and Classicism era. Sculptors such as Girardon, Coysevox and Coustou acquired
    reputations as the finest artists in the royal court in 17th-century France. Pierre Mignard became
    the first painter to King Louis XIV during this period. In 1648, the Acadmie royale de peinture
    et de sculpture (Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture) was established to accommodate for
    the dramatic interest in art in the capital. This served as France's top art school until 1793.[190]

    Auguste Renoir, Bal du moulin de la Galette, 1876, oil on canvas, 131 175 cm, Muse d'Orsay

    Paris was in its artistic prime in the 19th century and early 20th century, when it had a colony of
    artists established in the city and in art schools associated with some of the finest painters of the
    times: Manet, Monet, Berthe Morisot, Gauguin, Renoir and others. The French Revolution and
    political and social change in France had a profound influence on art in the capital. Paris was
    central to the development of Romanticism in art, with painters such as Gericault.[190]
    Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Symbolism, Fauvism Cubism and Art Deco movements all
    evolved in Paris.[190] In the late 19th century, many artists in the French provinces and worldwide
    flocked to Paris to exhibit their works in the numerous salons and expositions and make a name
    for themselves.[191] Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Vincent van Gogh, Paul
    Czanne, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Henri Rousseau, Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani
    and many others became associated with Paris. Picasso, living in Montmartre, painted his famous
    La Famille de Saltimbanques and Les Demoiselles d'Avignon between 1905 and 1907.[192]
    Montmartre and Montparnasse became centres for artistic production.
    The most prestigious names of French and foreign sculptors, who made their reputation in Paris
    in the modern era, are Frdric Auguste Bartholdi (Statue of Liberty), Auguste Rodin, Camille
    Claudel, Antoine Bourdelle, Paul Landowski (statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro)
    and Aristide Maillol. The Golden Age of the School of Paris ended between the two world wars,
    but Paris remains extremely important to world art and art education, with schools ranging from
    the cole nationale suprieure des Beaux-Arts (the former Acadmie royale de peinture et de
    sculpture) and Paris College of Art to the Paris American Academy, which specialises in
    teaching fashion and interior design.[193]
