Salon of 1800
The Salon of 1800 was an art exhibition held at the Louvre in Paris, opening on 2 September 1800. It was the first Salon to take place following the Coup of 18 Brumaire that brought Napoleon Bonaparte to power on 9 November 1799. It followed on from the Salon of 1799.
John Vanderlyn became the first American ever to exhibit at the Salon, displaying two portraits. One of these was a Self-Portrait which belonged to his patron Aaron Burr. Charles Meynier showed part of his series of depictions of the Ancient Greek muses with Apollo. He also displayed his history painting Telemachus, Urged by Mentor, Leaving the Island of Calypso. Marie-Guillemine Benoist submitted her Portrait of Madeleine establishing the artist's reputation. Louis-Léopold Boilly exhibited a Trompe-l'œil, the first time the term had been used. He also showed several portraits, a significant shift in his artistic career from his earlier boudoir scenes.
In sculpture Charles-Louis Corbet produced a marble bust of General Bonaparte. However, one of the most-admired works of the Salon was François Gérard's portrait of Bonaparte's rival Jean Victor Marie Moreau who went on to win the Battle of Hohenlinden in December of the same year. It was followed by the Salon of 1801
