Thanks for your prompt reply. Glad I have the name right. By Theorectical do you mean academic rather than vocational (teaching a craft or skill)? When you said it was not for everyone, do you mean that you had to pass competitive exams to enter, or do you mean that it was expensive and not everyone could afford it?
My grandfather painted in oils most of his life, and gave most of them away. My cousins and I have some of his paintings but most are lost to us now. I wonder if he would have learned to paint at this school. Would it have been part of a theoretical education? Was painting something a young person in this time would learn?
