“Marcus Sextus” at the Paris Salon of 1799
The painting “Marcus Sextus”, in which the hero, returning from exile, finds his wife on her deathbed, was a huge success: poets celebrated it in odes, and throughout the exhibition visitors stood before it every day.

The Paris Salon of 1810: three paintings
Returning to Paris after several years in Italy, Guérin appeared at the Salon again with three paintings. “Dawn Abducting Cephalus” was received coldly, while “Napoleon Pardoning the Rebels in Cairo, 30 October 1798” drew sharp criticism.

Opens a studio in Paris
Guérin’s studio soon became very lively: the best-known French Romantic painters came out of it — Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, Ary Scheffer, Léon Cogniet, André Jacques Orsel, Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, Paul Huet and others. Unmarried and childless, he devoted himself entirely to his studio and his pupils, with whom he was very close.
