Founded in 1692 as a private academy by court painter Peter Strudel, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna received imperial recognition in 1725 and is one of the oldest art academies in Central Europe. Approximately 1,500 students. The current main building (Schillerplatz, 1872-1877) by Theophil Hansen houses the famous Gemäldegalerie (Paintings Gallery) — home to Hieronymus Bosch's 'Last Judgement' triptych and other masterpieces. Historic faculty include Egon Schiele as a student. Notable historical footnote: Adolf Hitler was REJECTED for admission to the painting class in 1907 and 1908 — a documented rejection often noted in Austrian historical memory as an example of art schools maintaining standards. Today the Academy is internationally respected for fine art, conservation, and critical art theory.
