Nella vita di Jules Bastien-Lepage
Tutta la vita1870 and 1872
His first Salons pass unnoticed
The works he shows at the Salons of 1870 and 1872 attract no attention; success will come only in 1874.
1874
First Salon success: a medal for “Portrait of My Grandfather”
“Portrait of My Grandfather” wins critical acclaim and a third-class medal. The painter also shows “Song of Spring”, an academically minded study of rural life: a peasant girl sits on a knoll above a village, surrounded by wood nymphs.
1875 · Premio
Prix de Rome
1876
A second attempt at the Prix de Rome fails
With “Priam at the Feet of Achilles” (now in Lille) Bastien-Lepage again misses the Prix de Rome: a year earlier he had taken second place in the competition with “Angels Appearing to the Shepherds”, later shown again at the 1878 Exposition Universelle. The failure leads him to resolve to return to country life.
