2025Jacques Louis David Autumn Salon - Miniature Sheet

Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825) was a famous French Neoclassical painter known for works like The Death of Socratesand The Oath of the Horatii. He showed his art in the official French art shows called “Salons” during the late 1700s.

The Autumn Salon (Salon d’Automne) is a different event — it started in 1903, almost 80 years after David’s death. So, “Jacques Louis David Autumn Salon” is likely a mix-up. David never took part in the modern Autumn Salon; his paintings were shown in earlier, official Salons organized by the royal academy.
