Compilation - What was the Paris Salon? A full history: 1667-1880

Описание: The Paris Salon has a central place in the history of European art in the 18th and 19th centuries. But what was it?

This is a compilation video bringing together my two earlier videos on the Salon to tell the full story in one go, from the origins of the Salon in the late 17th century to the end of the official Salon in 1880. The original two parts are here:
Part 1: 1667-1800    • What was the Paris Salon? Part 1: 1667 to ...  
Part 2: 1800-1880    • What was the Paris Salon? Part 2: 1800 to ...  

[N.B. The original version of this compilation had problems with the sound. This is a reupload: the same content but with, I hope, improved volume levels.]
