The Salon of 1814 was an art exhibition held at the Louvre in Paris from 5 November 1814. It was the first Salon to be held since the defeat of Napoleon and the Bourbon Restoration that brought Louis XVIII to the throne. It featured a mixture of paintings and works of sculpture.
One of the most celebrated artists of the Napoleonic regime Jacques-Louis David had gone into exile and was absent from the Salon. Several of the works had appeared at earlier exhibitions such as Théodore Gericault's The Charging Chasseur which had featured in the Salon of 1812. By contrast Géricault's The Wounded Cuirassier was shown for the first time. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres wanted his entries "to cause some noise" and demonstrate the supremacy of history painting above all other genres. Anicet Lemonnier enjoyed success with her depiction of eighteenth century Paris In the Salon of Madame Geoffrin in 1755.
François Gérard, a noted painter of the Napoleonic era, rushed to complete his Portrait of Louis XVIII in time for the exhibition. It was followed by the Salon of 1817 which was more overt in its support of the Bourbon dynasty.
