Le Salon de 1857 is a lithograph created by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). This work is part of Daumier's extensive oeuvre, which often satirized the politics and society of his time. The lithograph specifically critiques the Paris Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which was the preeminent art event in the Western world during the 18th and 19th centuries.

In Le Salon de 1857, Daumier employs his characteristic sharp wit and keen observational skills to comment on the Salon's atmosphere, the variety of people in attendance, and perhaps the quality and nature of the art on display. The Salon exhibitions were known for their conservative tastes and the strict jury selection process, which often sparked controversy and debate within the artistic community. Daumier's work captures the essence of these debates, providing insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the time.

The lithograph is emblematic of Daumier's critical eye and his ability to encapsulate complex social dynamics in a single image. His work not only serves as a historical document but also as an artistic commentary on the role of art exhibitions in shaping public taste and artistic careers. As with many of Daumier's lithographs, Le Salon de 1857 would have been published in a periodical or as a standalone print, intended for a broad audience that appreciated his satirical take on contemporary events and institutions.

Daumier's contributions to the arts, particularly through his lithographs, have earned him a place among the most important figures in the history of French art. His work remains relevant for its incisive social and political critique, as well as for its artistic quality. Le Salon de 1857 is a testament to Daumier's enduring legacy as a commentator on the art world and society at large.
