The Florence Academy of Art is an American art school in Florence, in Tuscany in central Italy. It was started by Daniel Graves, an American painter, in 1991. [1] Teaching is in the traditional style of the old masters. [1] The school is a branch of the International Academy of Fine Art, [2] [ self-published source? ] and is recognised as a certificate programme by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. [3] [ self-published source? ] The school is not listed by the Italian ministry of education, the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, among the institutions authorised to award degrees in music, dance and the arts.

The Florence Academy of Art received an excellent review by Brian T. Allen in 2021 [5] . A review in The New York Times in 2003 of a show of works by students of the school at the Hirschl and Adler gallery in Manhattan, New York, was not wholly negative, but spoke of " … inertly composed still lifes, laughable allegories and preciously romantic self-portraits ... glazed by decades of exposure to tobacco smoke".
