Raffaëlli, Jean-François, at the Salon

Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Jean-François Raffaëlli (1850-1924)

An impression of his paintings

at the Salon and other exhibitions

 

 

Introduction:
On this page you will see an impression of the pictures that Jean-François Raffaëlli exhibited at the Salon (=Sx) from 1870-79, at its successor the Salon du Société des Artistes Français (=SdAF-x) from 1882-89, at the alternative of the SdAF, the Salon de la Société National des Beaux-Arts (=SNBA) 1891 onwards; especially the coloured etchings. And also of the works exhibited at his solo-exhibition in 1884 (=se1884-x). Indirectly you will find works that he exhibited with Les Vingts in 1885 (=XX1885-x) and at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 (EU1900). Note: he exhibited at more exhibitions. My goal is to give an overall impression of the works that Raffaëlli did make and exhibit. At the bottom of this page you will find the sculptures he exhibited. See the link for an account. See link for an explanation of the subscriptions. See for the used sources at the bottom of the main page about Jean-François Raffaëlli. I render the pictures per format and partly per theme. Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. On a smartphone or laptop you can also zoom in. Enjoy!
