Abstract

When the National Painting Academy of Chile was founded in 1849, the first director, the Italian Alejandro Cicarelli, read a  speech where he proposed a teaching model based in the Greco-Roman tradition and in the official European academies of that time. This model characterized the teaching of the Chilean painting for more than 50 years. Cicarelli was hired by the Chilean government when he worked as an artist in the Court of the  Emperor Pedro II, in Brazil.
