The Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Ghent (Dutch: Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten van Gent, KASK) is an art school that is one of the oldest art schools in Belgium. It is a part of the Hogeschool Gent, a Belgium University college.
History
[edit]The Academy was founded in 1748 as a school for drawing by the painter, Philippe Karel Marissal, at his home.[1] During his studies in Paris, Marissal had become impressed by the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, and was inspired to create a similar establishment in his home city.[1] The Academy was granted a royal charter in 1771 by empress Maria Theresa of Austria.[citation needed]
In 1995, the Academy was one of the sixteen educational institutions that were merged into the Hogeschool Gent.[2]
