The Ecole des Beaux-Arts seduced the weak with school triumphs and popular successes, and destroyed them in the end, while it identified, repelled, and strengthened the vigorous by forcing them to struggle with reality and to find their own way.
(Lorenz Eitner, in An Outline of 19th Century European Painting)
