"Academie d'Homme" (also known as "Study of a Male Nude" or "Male Nude, Seen from Behind") is a renowned drawing by the French artist Hippolyte Flandrin (1809–1864). Created in 1835-1836, this work exemplifies the academic art tradition and is one of Flandrin's most recognized studies from his time at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The drawing showcases Flandrin's mastery of form and his dedication to the neoclassical ideals of beauty and proportion that were central to the teachings of his mentor, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.

The piece is a fine example of the académie, a type of drawing or painting that focuses on the human figure, traditionally male, and intended as a study of form, composition, and light. Such works were often used as educational exercises for artists and were highly regarded in the academic system for their technical prowess and purity of form.

Flandrin's "Academie d'Homme" is particularly noted for its refined line work and subtle gradation of tone, which bring a sculptural quality to the drawing. The subject is depicted from behind, seated on a rock, with his head turned to the side in a pose that suggests contemplation or introspection. The figure's musculature is rendered with precision, and the play of light and shadow across the body demonstrates Flandrin's skill in capturing the human form.

This drawing not only reflects the academic training that was prevalent in the 19th century but also stands as a testament to Flandrin's artistic legacy. It is often cited as an example of the idealized male nude in art history and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of French academic art.

Hippolyte Flandrin went on to achieve considerable success as a painter, with works that include religious subjects and portraits. His contributions to French art were recognized in his lifetime, and he was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1832. "Academie d'Homme" remains a significant work within Flandrin's oeuvre and is frequently included in discussions of 19th-century French art and the academic tradition.
