"The Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, renowned as one of the great art and architecture schools of the world, is the namesake and founding location of the Beaux-Arts architectural movement of the early twentieth century. Known for demanding classwork and setting the highest standards for education, the Ecole has attracted a diverse array of talented individuals from all over, including the United States, to which former Ecole students returned to design buildings that would influence the history of architecture in this country, including the Boston Public LIbrary of 1888-95, the New York Public Library of 1897-1911, Hearst Castle of 1919-48, the Biltmore Estate of 1895, and Kykuit of 1914." - from dust jacket.
