Since its creation in 2006, Art Capital has brought together four historic art fairs: The Salon Comparaisons, the Salon Drawing & Water-based Painting, the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon des Artistes Français.
The latter is also celebrating its 233rd edition in February!
For the anecdote, he is the heir of the Salon, with a capital S, history created by the will of Louis XIV.
Because in 1667, according to the wishes of the Sun King, the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture organized an exhibition of its members at the Louvre.
He therefore attracted the most subtle and refined minds of his time.
