Birth of Venus (Cabanel) academicism : refers to the style of painting and sculpture produced under the influence of European Academies, where many artists received their formal training; though it can be meant to extend to all art influenced by Academies, its often meant to refer to artists influenced by the standards of the French Acad?e des beaux-arts, who practiced under the movements of Neoclassicism and Romanticism, and more usually used to refer to art that followed these two movements, in the attempt to synthesize both of their styles, and which is best reflected by the paintings of William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Thomas Couture, and Hans Makart. Also called academism, academicism, art pompier, and eclecticism, and sometimes linked with historicism and syncretism.
