While the Salon jury routinely accepted nudes in historical and allegorical paintings, they condemned Manet for placing a realistic nude in a contemporary setting. The jury's severely worded rejection of Manet's painting appalled his admirers, and the unusually large number of rejected works that year perturbed many French artists.]]> 2022-05-29 21:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jmorgan0021/n0vgu3c0y4gg19g/wish/2203752356 After 1863, Salon des Refuses is formed -- Previously rejected artists host an art show where the public is the judge of the artwork, rather than a designated jury. jmorgan0021 https://padlet.com/jmorgan0021/n0vgu3c0y4gg19g/wish/2203752921 After Emperor Napoleon III saw the rejected works of 1863, he decreed that the public be allowed to judge the work themselves, and the Salon des Refusés (Salon of the Refused) was organized.
