Visit to the Studio !T!—What colors, what draftsmanship, it must be a Van Dyck—it’s !T!a Rubens—it’s marvelous—it’s amazing. (The artist congratulates himself for having shown his painting to people of such good !T!taste…eight days later, his painting is refused by the jury.) !T!Published May 22, 1857, in Le Charivari
The Salon, the yearly art exhibitions in Paris, were juried art shows that attracted approximately one million visitors from Paris and the provinces. Hundreds of painters and sculptors exhibited. At the time, few independent art galleries existed, so the Salon was the most important way for artists to get their work seen. Rejection by the jury could spell disaster for an artist; once an artist was rejected from the Salon, he had very little chance to succeed commercially.
