Founding in Dresden of the “General Art Academy for Painting, the Art of Sculpture, the Art of Copperplate Engraving and of Architecture”, 1764

Dresden follows the trend of the times: the first art academies in the German lands are founded in Nuremberg in 1662, Berlin in 1696, and Stuttgart in 1761 – over the next century many more will follow.
