portraits of the award-winning academicians
Explanation:
I'm guessing slightly as to what your context is but I suspect this is what is meant. In this case "saggio" doesn't mean a critical essay but a "wise person" or "sage" and "accademico" means "member of a learnéd academy".

Explanation:
"premiati" is the past participle of "premiare" which I would translate as "awarded" or "prized" as a synonim. I reckon "awarded" stands for aknowledged, but it may depend on the context.

the end-of-year winning paintings by fine-art students


Explanation:
Your text definitely refers to paintings.

'Accademico' here refers to the Parma Fine Arts Academy, which during the period stated had prizes awarded each year to the best paintings produced by its students.

I've kept my suggestion as short as possible (!), although you may want to mention the Academy of Fine Arts in full here, unless referred-to earlier in the text.
Also, you may want to reword the sentence into better EN (the end-of-year fine-art student winning paintings?). Hence my medium confidence level.

The gallery (Galleria Nazionale, Parma) has some on display, 'disposti su più file, in un allestimento che vuole richiamare quello delle antiche quadrerie, i saggi accademici premiati dal 1761 al 1795, opere di giovani artisti italiani...'
(source, http://www.artipr.arti.beniculturali.it/htm/Percorsi.htm)

'Il ministro Du Tillot rafforzò la destinazione culturale della Pilotta, sistemandovi la Biblioteca Palatina (1769) e la neonata Accademia, con la propria "quadreria" quale ausilio alla formazione dei giovani artisti, e i reperti provenienti dagli scavi di Veleia, che andarono a costituire il nucleo originario delle raccolte parmensi, insieme ai saggi accademici e ai dipinti vincitori dei famosi concorsi annuali di pittura.'
