« Parmi toutes les écoles de dessin, seules celles de Paris, Saint-Quentin et Troyes sont « royales » et donc indépendantes du contrôleur des bâtiments et de l’Académie royale. (…) En plus du prestige accordé dans l’ordre de la préséance, parce que placés sous la protection directe du roi, ces établissements obtiennent des lettres patentes pour des raisons autant financières, en particulier le droit de bénéficier de dons et legs (Troyes, Saint-Quentin), que d’indépendance pédagogique par rapport à l’académie parisienne (Paris) ». In « Les Ecoles de Dessin au XVIIIème, entre arts libéraux et arts mécaniques », Agnes Lahalle, Presses universitaires de Rennes. Parmi les fondateurs de l'Ecole, Louis Joseph Rondot, orfèvre, Pierre Cossart, artiste peintre, Herluison, sculpteur et le pastelliste Pierre Baudemant, maître de dessin. Parmi les donateurs, Jacques de Bruneval, Pierre-Philippe Finot et Edme Doufflot.
