📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Brussels Salon was a periodic exhibition of works by living artists that was held in Brussels between 1811 and 1914. It was primarily aimed at painters, but sculptors, draughtsmen, engravers and architects were also present. Participants were given a unique opportunity to present their work to the general public and to offer it for sale if desired. They could also enter anonymously in a competition whose first prize was a gold medal. The catalogues were eagerly received and newspapers and art critics followed the event closely. The national Museum of Fine Arts was enriched mainly by works purchased at the Salon.
