EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph captures the excitement and elegance of the Paris Salon of 1865, where the art world came together to showcase the latest in French culture and society. In the foreground, a fashionable woman in a bonnet, mantelet cape, and wide crinoline dress, gazes intently at Edouard Manet's controversial painting "Olympia," which caused a stir with its unconventional depiction of a nude woman with a black servant. The Paris Salon, held annually at the Palais de l'Industrie, was a prestigious event that attracted large crowds, including the elite of French society. The exhibition, which took place during the reign of Napoleon III, was part of the Exposition Universelle of 1855, a world's fair that showcased the latest advancements in industry and technology. The image, taken from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," also depicts carriages and crowds in the background, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the event. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of the lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, offer a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of 19th century French society, making it a valuable historical record and an aesthetically pleasing work of art in its own right.
