'''Academic Art''' (Art pompier) in [[painting]] and [[sculpture]] is that art produced with a polished style, using mythological, historical or oriental subjects. It is applied to those artworks influenced by the standards of, especially, the French ''Académie des Beaux-Arts'' (Academy of Fine Arts) and the 19th century "Salons"; it is also called ''academic painting'' or ''academic sculpture''. It is associated with [[Neoclassical]] Art.
