Abstract
The establishment of Academies of Art in Florence and Rome during the second half of the Sixteenth Century marked the beginning of a new era1. Early academies ennobled art education, contributed to the social and cultural rise of the artist and established new career patterns. The changes they introduced regarding the creation, selection and transfer of theoretical and visual knowledge were long lasting, but they will be better understood when compared with the context of art education during the Middle Ages and when due attention is paid to changes which took place before their establishment.
