Académie Suisse

The Académie Suisse (French pronunciation: [akademi sɥis]) was a very popular, informal art school founded by Martin François Suisse (1781–1859) in 1815, and was located at the corner of the Quai des Orfévres (No. 4) and the Boulevard du Palais, in Paris, France. From Delacroix to Cézanne, most major French artists frequented this venue to meet colleagues and to study after male and female models.
