The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp organised the prize until 1920, when the national government took over.It was an annual burse for promising artists (painters, sculptors, and architects) who proved their talents by completing a very difficult elimination contest.The award winner would win a stay at the Palazzo Mancini in Rome at the expense of the King of France.The winner of the "First Grand Prize" (called the agréé)[1] would be sent to The Academy of France in Rome founded by Jean-Baptiste Colbert in 1666.After the creation of Belgium as an independent state in 1830, the Belgian government started their own version of the Prix de Rome in 1832.
