From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Salon of 1852 was an art exhibition held at the Palais-Royal in Paris 15 May and 31 October 1852. Organised by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, it took place in the Galerie d’Orléans.
It was the first Salon to be held following the December 1851 coup that overthrew the Second Republic, with Napoleon III proclaimed Emperor later that year.[1] Charles-François Daubigny of the Barbizon School displayed a landscape painting The Harvest.[2] Auguste-Barthélemy Glaize exhibited the history painting The Gallic Women.[3] Théodore Rousseau's Oak Grove, Apremont was purchased by Charles, Duc de Morny, Napoleon's half-brother.[4]
The veteran artist Horace Vernet displayed a scene of recent history The Siege of Rome showing the 1849 siege of the city. Commissioned for the Palace of Versailles received a negative reception from both the public and the art critics.[5]
