Moj predlog je "academy-trained painter", a citat sa "Royal Academy-trained painter" je naveden samo kao primer (referenca) - naravno da to "Royal" nije deo mog predloga za konkretno pitanje.

Što se tiče BA i sl, ne znam da li bi vaš kontekst to opravdao. To „akademski slikar“ se sreće i za slikare iz XIX veka, a i danas, mada više i ne postoji Akademija (bar u Srbiji), već Fakultet likovnih umetnosti. Po meni, „akademski slikar“ nije strogo formalna kvalifikacija, tj. nekakvo zakonom propisano zvanje (ne znam da li neko uopšte i ima baš takvu diplomu), već se odnosi na sve visokoškolske likovne ustanove (tj. slikare koji su to završili), kakvog god da su formalnog naziva i bilo gde da se nalaze, a i vremenski je univerzalno.

Explanation:
Duncanson's artistic career had several phases which lead him to travel both the country and the world for the pursuit of his art. Because he was not a formally trained artist, he honed his skills copying prints and painting portraits. In 1842 Duncanson had three portraits ("Fancy Portrait," "Infant Savior, a copy," and "Miser") accepted to the last exhibition hosted by the Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge which had succeeded the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Arts.

disagree  Nick Saywell: Sorry but this is just a literal translation that does not mean the same in English. "Academic painter" is used to mean a painter in the academy style, not someone who has trained in an academy.

master painter


Explanation:
Direct translation is a bit weird and is not really used in practice, in UK you usually have BA and MA studies in fine art, which include painting, drawing and sculpture, so either bachelor of fine art or master of fine art (masters is equivalent to specialization at academy).

agree  Janka Petravic: Jako dobro zvuči. Službena titula nakon diplome iz slikarstva na Likovnoj Akademiji u Zagrebu je Master of Painting - to piše na engleskoj web stranici Akademije i slično je završnim titulama u drugim EU zemljama i u UK.
