Escola de Belas Artes (School of Fine Arts) is one of the centers of theFederal University of Rio de Janeiro and dates back to colonial times.
A royal letter of 20 November 1800 byJohn VI of Portugal established theAula Prática de Desenho e Figura in Rio de Janeiro. It was the first institution in Brazil systematically dedicated to teaching the arts. Duringcolonial times, the arts were mainly of religious or utilitarian nature and were learnt in a system ofapprenticeship.
The Decree of 12 August 1816 created theEscola Real de Ciências, Artes e Ofícios (Royal School of Sciences, Arts and Crafts), which established an official education in the fine arts. Then it was renamed as theAcademia Imperial de Belas Artes (Imperial Academy of Fine Arts), instituting a system of artistic education that would greatly influence the development ofBrazilian art.
On 8 November 1890, the old Imperial Academy was transformed into theEscola Nacional de Belas Artes (National School of Fine Arts). In 1931, the School joined the University of Rio de Janeiro, the currentFederal University of Rio de Janeiro.
