The Salon of 1877, short info: The Salon of 1877 (the 94th) started the 1th of May in the Palais des Champs-Elysées in Paris (iR4;iR3). The catalogue mentions 3761 partakers and 4656 numbers (iR1). Note: more info will follow.
Highly awarded art-works: (In the future) you will find some paintings that were highly rewarded at the Salon of 1877*, that can be seen as the standard of art. Note*: works that received a medal of honor, works that received a golden medal, were (assigned and) purchased by the state; of artists that later that year were appointed in the Légion d’Honneur as Officier or higher.
Exhibited art-works by the ‘impressionist’: 14 of the 57 partakers of the ‘impressionist’ expositions showed about 37 art-works at the Salon of 1877. Including Astruc (1wc +1sc); Attendu (2x); Boudin (1x); Colin (1x); Debras (2p); Desboutin (1x +12 engravings); Latouche (1x); Lepic (2x); Lépine (2x); Meyer (2 enamels); Jean-Baptiste Millet (2wc); de Nittis (1x +2wc); J.F. Raffaëlli (2x +1sc); Zandomeneghi (1x). See also the accounts of these artists (in the left or bottom sub-menus). Note: Braun (R30,no.271) suggests there was a picture of Renoir exhibited called ‘spring’ exhibited at the Salon of 1877, but this is not affirmed by other sources.
