Museums & Art Centres
The National Academy of St. Luke was founded in 1478 by Pope Sixtus IV as a guild of artists in order to develop their gifts with painting, sculpture and architecture. The Academy, housed in the Palazzo Carpengna, lives on up to this date, including the tradition of each academician donating a work of his art in perpetuity to the gallery.
Among the famous artists found in the gallery are from Raffaello, Canova, Van Dyck and many others.
To date, there are about 500 hundred portraits in display.
