Prix de Rome
French scholarship for arts students
The Prix de Rome or Grand Prix de Rome was a French scholarship for arts students, initially for painters and sculptors, established in 1663 during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Winners were awarded a bursary that allowed them to stay in Rome for three to five years at the expense of the state. The prize was extended to architecture in 1720, music in 1803 and engraving in 1804.
