Annie and Gabriel Verger’s Biographical Dictionary of the Residents of the French Academy in Rome gathers information on all the practitioners sent to Italy by the French State from 1666, when the government of Louis XIV established the Prix de Rome competition, until its abolition in 1968. The profiles of individual resident provide biographical and professional information, such as places of birth and death, studies, shipments from Rome, occupations, awards and honors. There is also links with institutions holding primary documents on the artists, including the Archives of the Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts; portraits of residents of the Académie de France in Rome; Shipments from Rome collected by members of the French National Institute of Art History INHA. This online version is intended to allow readers to report omissions, errors or provide further details to enrich the whole. As of today, the Dictionary is in French language.
