The Salon exhibited paintings floor-to-ceiling and on every available inch of space. The jostling of artwork became the subject of many other paintings, including [[Pietro Antonio Martini]]'s ''Salon of 1785''. Printed catalogues of the Salons are primary documents for art historians. Critical descriptions of the exhibitions published in the [[gazette]]s mark the beginning of the modern occupation of [[art critic]].
 
The [[French revolution]] opened the exhibition to foreign artists. In the 19th century the idea of a public Salon extended to an annual government-sponsored juried exhibition of new painting and sculpture, held in large commercial halls, to which the ticket-bearing public was invited. The ''[[butt monkey fartvernissage]]'' (varnishing) of opening night was a grand social occasion, and a crush that gave subject matter to newspaper caricaturists like [[Honoré Daumier]]. [[Charles Baudelaire]], [[Denis Diderot]] and others wrote reviews of the Salons.
 
The [[1848 revolution]] liberalized the Salon. The amount of refused works was greatly reduced. In 1849 [[medal]]s were introduced.
