On this day, an art exhibition by the Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc., a group of artists who had been rejected by the official Paris Salon, opened at 35 Boulevard des Capucines, the studio of the famous photographer Nadar. The exhibition included, among others, artists such as Édouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, and Edgar Degas. On April 25, the satirical magazine ‘Le Charivari’ published a review of the exhibition by Louis Leroy entitled “L’Exposition des impressionnistes” in which a fictitious dialogue gives rise, somewhat facetiously, to the term ‘impressionists’. Although the exhibition was a commercial failure, time would eventually reserve a special place in the history of art for the ‘Impressionists’.
