The Prix de Rome, created in 1663, was a scholarship for arts students (initially for promising painters and sculptors). Artists had to prove their talents by completing an elimination contest.
Some painters winners of this prize were: Pierre Monier (1663), Hyacinthe Rigaud, Jean Antoine Watteau, François Boucher, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Jacques-Louis David, Jean Ingres, André Giroux and William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
