Description: This volume contains papers from the first major conference on the post-1789 Paris Fine Art Salon (University of Exeter, September 2013), originating from research project Painting for the Salon? The French State, Artists and Academy, 1830-1852. It examines the national and international artistic, political and cultural dimensions of the Salon.
Review Quotes: Colloquium proceedings sometimes do not amount to much. This particular collective volume, however, represents a major contribution to scholarship.
