Academic art
In the 17th through 19th centuries, academies of painting and sculpture had official status in Europe. They also had a high degree of control over what was "acceptable art." So, art in compliance with the standards set by these academic institutions is academic art.

Academic art
Academic art is a style of painting and sculpture produced under the influence of European academies or universities.

Specifically, academic art is the art and artists influenced by the standards of the French Académie des beaux-arts, which practiced under the movements of Neoclassicism and Romanticism, and the 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 BouguereauSuzor-CotéThomas Couture, and Hans Makart. In this context it is often called "academism", "academicism", "L'art pompier", and "eclecticism", and sometimes linked with "historicism" and "syncretism".
