Bottega dell’Arcimboldo (Florence Art Academy) was founded for the purpose of restoring the magic atmosphere that was prevalent in the Renaissance Florentine workshops.

Our school is structured on the foundation of a sound academic basis derived from the tradional Florentine Renaissance and Neoclassicism. Courses have been developed for students who desire to study with diligence, passion and with the true goal of learning the “craft” of the sketcher and painter. Arcimboldo Academy has been created with much heart in its foundation with a true love for Art. Our Academy has been created in this small but beautiful city of Florence, where 500 years ago great "spirits" generated a glorious period called the Renaissance.

Our curriculum has been developed by professional florentine artists who are not only teachers but are also professionally active artists in the world-wide artistic field. Our academic structure has been formed and developed by a florentine Master artist who has many years of excellent professional knowledge and experience.
