The Salon (French: Salon), or rarely Paris Salon (French: Salon de Paris [salɔ̃ də paʁi]), beginning in 1667 [1] was the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Between 1748 and 1890 it was arguably the greatest annual or biennial art event in the Western world.
The Salon of 1763 was an art exhibition held at the Louvre in Paris. It was held during the Ancien Régime era and was overseen by the Académie Royale. Staged during the reign of Louis XV it took place the same years as the Treaty of Paris ended the Seven Years War. Many of the works featured were Rococo in style.
The museum building was built in 1878―1879 for Laurent-Louis Borniche, wood merchant and amateur painter, near the former site of a Celestine monastic community turned arsenal. In 1988, it became a center for documentation and exhibitions related to urban planning and the architecture of Paris.
The First Impressionist Exhibition was an art exhibition held by the Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc., [a] a group of nineteenth-century artists who had been rejected by the official Paris Salon and pursued their own venue to exhibit their artworks.
The salon system thus forced radical and modern artists to seek alternative or unofficial exhibition sites. This is especially true for Impressionists and Fauvism.
