Summarizes the early 19th-c. history of the French Academy in Rome, which was established 1803 in the Villa Medici, Rome. Focuses on marble sculpture produced in the first decade of the 19th c. by the pensionnaires, who were required to present a life-sized nude figure as a finishing project. Examines the iconography and style of the works by Charles Antoine Callamard, Joseph Charles Marin, Dominique Aimée Milhomme, and Charles Dupaty, tracing the execution and exhibition history (at the Paris Salon, etc.), and the critical reception of their pieces. The works, inspired by classical models as well as by studies from life, are now in the Musée national du Château de Compiègne, Compiègne, and the Château de Fontainebleau, Fontainebleau.
