In the life of Albert Edelfelt
The whole lifeearly 1880s
A step towards Impressionism
Edelfelt took up features of Impressionism — parks, gardens and the seashore, intimate domestic scenes, the play of light on figures, rapid execution — yet, true to his realist training, never became a full Impressionist and kept his precise detail.

The Pasteur portrait triumphs at the Paris Salon
The portrait of Pasteur in his laboratory, painted in 1885 with the scientist — who had a good sense of public relations — helping to plan it, was a great success at the Salon of 1886 and became one of the most familiar images of him. It earned the painter the Legion of Honour.
