The Salon of 1833 was an art exhibition held at the Louvre in Paris which opened on the 1 March 1833. [1] It was held during the July Monarchy of Louis Philippe I and the first Salon to be staged since the failed Paris Uprising of 1832 against his rule. The critic Heinrich Heine, reviewing the Salon, observed that Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was the dominant figure of the Salon. "Like Louis-Philippe in politics, M. Ingres was this year the king in art: as the former reigned at the Tuileries, he reigned at the Louvre". [2] Eugene Delacroix who had enjoyed success at the Salon of 1831 with Liberty Leading the People , was away in Morocco in 1832 and short of time he submitted a few watercolours and portraits rather than the history paintings he had become known for.
