1801 art exhibition in Paris
The Salon of 1801 was an art exhibition held at the Louvre in Paris held between 18 September and 31 October 1801. It took place during the French Consulate with General Napoleon Bonaparte the dominant force in French society. This was reflected in several of the paintings displayed. Notably Bonaparte at the Pont d’Arcole by Antoine-Jean Gros depicts a scene from the Italian Campaign. [1] Louis-François Lejeune‘s [[The Battle of Marengo (painting)|The Battle of Marengo]] depicts a major victory from the same campaign.[2]
Napoleon’s wife featured in the Portrait of Josephine Bonaparte by François Gérard. [3] Other paintings on display were the history painting Brutus Condemning His Sons to Death by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière. [4] The sculptor Claude Ramey submitted the marble statuette Sappho.[5]
Stylistically Neoclassicism remained in the ascendency. Jacques-Louis David, one of the leading figures in the French art world, did not exhibit any paintings this year. [6]
