Early history
\nThe school was founded by Lambert Krahe in 1762 as a school of drawing. The first female professor, Catharina Treu, was appointed in 1766. In 1773, it became the “Kurf\u00fcrstlich-Pf\u00e4lzische Academie der Maler, Bildhauer- und Baukunst” (Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture of the Electorate of the Palatinate). During the Napoleonic Wars, the count palatine’s art collection was inherited by the Wittelsbach family and moved to Munich, prompting the Prussian government\u2014who had annexed the D\u00fcsseldorf region after Napoleon had surrendered\u2014to change it into a Royal Arts Academy in D\u00fcsseldorf, in 1819.<\/p>\n
In the 1850s, the Kunstakademie D\u00fcsseldorf became internationally renowned, with many students coming from Scandinavia, Russia and the United States to learn, among other things, the genre and landscape painting associated with the D\u00fcsseldorf school.[1][2]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
