Salon of 1810

It included a number of paintings featuring Napoleon and his military campaigns including The Battle of Austerlitz by François Gérard and The Revolt of Cairo by Girodet.

Napoleon himself purchased twenty paintings exhibited at the Salon at a cost of 47,000 francs.

[4] Pierre-Nicolas Beauvallet exhibited a plaster sculpture of Suzanne in her Bath which was a popular success and led to Napoleon commissioning a version in marble.

[5] Jacques-Louis David's The Coronation of Napoleon was on display again, having also appeared at the Salon of 1808.

Its appearance at the 1810 Salon was captured by Louis-Léopold Boilly in his The Public Viewing David's 'Coronation' at the Louvre.
