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.
