Book synopsis
Following on from « Ce Salon à quoi tout se ramène »: Le Salon de peinture et de sculpture, 1791–1890, published in 2010 as an earlier
volume in this series, this volume contains a selection of the papers given at the first major international conference to be held on the post-1789
Paris Fine Art Salon. Hosted by the University of Exeter in September 2013, the conference had its origins in the research project entitled
Painting for the Salon? The French State, Artists and Academy, 1830–1852, funded in 2010–2012 by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research
Council, and its purpose was to situate findings of this research within the wider framework of the Salon’s nineteenth-century history. In this
collection of twenty-three papers, fourteen in English, nine in French, established and new scholars of French art history examine the national
and international artistic, political and cultural dimensions of the most important regular exhibition of contemporary art in the nineteenth-century
world.

Reviews
«Colloquium proceedings sometimes do not amount to much. This particular collective volume, however, represents a major contribution to
scholarship.»
