The great scientist Mikhail Lomonosov and the famous philanthropist Ivan Shuvalov took a serious role in its creation, and he presented the "Donation" on the creation of "a special academy of three noble arts." The institution was opened in St. Petersburg, but within 6 years it was assigned to the Moscow University founded by Shuvalov.

The enlightener immediately invited unique foreign masters as teachers - the architect Jean Vallin-Delamot, the artists Claude Lorrain, Georg Schmidt, Jean de Velli, the sculptor Nicolas Gillet, accepted the first set of students from talented teenagers of different classes. A year later, Shuvalov presented the Academy with his own magnificent collection of paintings, sculptures and literary works thus laying the foundation for an extensive library and museum complex.

The Academy became a "family nest" of Russian talents, who were admitted to study, regardless of their status. Thus, the brilliant Rokotov became a student "by word of command," and the brilliant Fyodor Shubin, being a stoker, was simply "demanded" into the walls of the Academy for his talent.

Teachers and students took part in the construction and decoration of famous architectural ensembles: the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ on Blood, Kazan and St. Isaac's Cathedrals, the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
