Quote of the Day
The supremacy of God in all things is the great reward we long for in fasting. His supremacy in our own affections and in all our life-choices. His supremacy in the purity of the church. His supremacy in the salvation of the lost. His supremacy in the establishing of righteousness and justice. And his supremacy for the joy of all peoples in the evangelization of the world.

ELCOME. You have just entered the largest on-line Museum on the internet. A work in progress, steadily expanding with thousands of high quality images of the greatest paintings and sculpture in history, the Art Renewal Center is building an encyclopedic collection of essays, biographies and articles by top scholars in the field.
ARC is the Eye of the Storm, at the core, hub and center of a major cultural shift in the art world. With a growing body of experts, we are setting standards to become ARC Approved™ for artists, art schools, systems of training, museum exhibitions and historical scholarship, to bring guidance, direction, goals and reality to an art establishment that has been sailing rudderless for nearly a hundred years.
Additionally, the Art Renewal Center is a non-profit educational organization committed to reviving standards of craftsmanship and excellence. Only by gaining a full command of the skills of the past masters can we create the masters of tomorrow. This is a step forward for our culture. Experimentation and creativity can only succeed and prosper when built on a solid foundation of past accomplishments, with the tools which empower artists to realize their visions.
Nothing has been more restricting and debilitating than the theories of modernism, which eliminated these tools, along with the skills to employ them. We are providing a forum for artists, scholars, collectors and the public to appreciate great art, and to recognize that they're not alone in their suspicions about the emptiness of modern and postmodern art. These suspicions are fully justified by the overwhelming body of evidence and historical facts. |
With its traditional curriculum, the Angel Academy has resurrected the knowledge of art's golden
age, the Renaissance; the programme teaches techniques begun in the early 1500s and developed
over the ensuing 300 years. It is the system that created the masters. Its adherents include
Leonardo, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Velasquez, Rembrandt, Leighton, Bouguereau and,
more recently, Annigoni.
Academy Director and Founder
Michael John Angel has researched this traditional system for
the past thirty years. "Those who do not learn from the masters waste their lives, re-inventing
the wheel. Priceless knowledge has been sacrificed in the 20th century," he says. "Starting
from nothing you can go nowhere, but, stand on the shoulders of giants, and you possess
the tools and vision to travel far."
