about Le Musée Français [The French Museum], a book found in the
collection of the library of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts

successor to Athens and Rome, as the center of a new republic of
the arts. This process was the object of a dispute where

group of artists who then helped to lay the foundations for an
academic environment in Rio de Janeiro. Palabr
