description Architecture was added to the curriculum of the public free drawing-school of Toulouse in the 1740s, where painting and sculpture were already taught. This school, founded in 1726, became the Society of Fine Arts in 1746 and was finally established as a Royal Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1751, on the model of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris.  In 1782 a School of Engineering was created within this academy. The letters patent obtained by the Toulouse institution gave it a privileged status: it was the only  provincial academy of art to be given the title of “Royal” academy, and, unlike other provincial establishments, it was free from all control bythe Paris academy.  Taking this autonomy into account, one can examine the educational choices made by the Toulouse Academy, their nature and whether they were innovatory. The surviving documentation concerning the whole institution and any graphic sources are however incomplete and scattered, and thus the aim here is only to take a preliminary look at the case of the training provided in architecture, and to draw some conclusions from this.
