Salon
A big official art exhibition in France, started in the 1600s, where artists showed their work to the public.
What is it?
The Salon was the most important art exhibition in France from the 1600s to the 1800s. It was organized by the French government and the Académie des Beaux-Arts. Artists competed to have their work accepted, because being in the Salon could make their career. The Salon was held annually in Paris, often at the Palais de l'Industrie or the Louvre. In 1874, the Salon attracted over 500,000 visitors and showed 3,701 works by more than 2,000 artists. The Salon awarded medals to the best works, like Gérôme's "L'Éminence Grise" in 1874. Over time, the Salon's importance declined as alternative exhibitions like the Impressionist shows gained popularity. The child's reflection describes the 1874 Salon in detail, noting its massive scale and the award to Gérôme.
Why it matters
The Salon was the main way artists gained fame and sold their work. Its rejection of Impressionist artists led them to create their own exhibitions, which changed art history.

沙龙
法国始于17世纪的大型官方艺术展览，艺术家向公众展示他们的作品。
这是什么？
沙龙是17世纪至19世纪法国最重要的艺术展览。它由法国政府和美术学院组织。艺术家们竞争让自己的作品被接受，因为入选沙龙可以成就他们的事业。沙龙每年在巴黎举行，通常在工业宫或卢浮宫。1874年，沙龙吸引了超过50万访客，展出了2000多位艺术家的3701件作品。沙龙为最佳作品颁发奖章，比如1874年热罗姆的《灰衣主教》获得了荣誉勋章。随着时间的推移，随着印象派展览等替代性展览的流行，沙龙的重要性下降了。孩子的描述详细介绍了1874年的沙龙，指出了其庞大的规模以及热罗姆获得的奖项。
