[edit] History
The school was founded by Lambert Krahe in 1762 as a school of drawing. In 1773, it became the Earl of Palatine's Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. During the Napoleonic Wars, the earl's art collection was inherited by the Wittelsbach family and moved to Munich, prompting the Prussian government-- who had annexed the Düsseldorf region after Napoleon had surrendered-- to change it into a Royal Arts Academy in Düsseldorf, in 1819.
In the 1850s, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf became internationally-renowned, with many students coming from Scandinavia, Russia and the US to learn, amongst other things, the genre and landscape painting associated with the "The Düsseldorf School of Painting".
