The Academia de Estímulo de Bellas Artes is nationalised and Ernesto de la Cárcova is appointed its director.
The Sociedad Estímulo de Bellas Artes is founded in 1877 by Juan L. Camaña, the Sívori brothers and Eduardo Schiaffino, among others. In 1878, the Academia Libre is inaugurated and the Italian, Francisco Romero, is appointed in charge of teaching. In 1903, it is already authorised to grant official titles as professors of drawing and sculpture.
Lucio Correa Morales produces the marble La Cautiva, a sculpture with which he changes the habitual artistic image of the white woman prisoner of the Indians (Blanes, Della Valle), by depicting an Indian woman embracing her children while desolately contemplating how the white man overruns her people.
