He was closely connected to the Paris Salon: "He was elected regularly to the Salon jury and his pupils could be counted by the hundred at the Salons. Through them, Cabanel did more than any other artist of his generation to form the character of belle ?poque French painting" (Dictionary of Art (1996) vol 5 pp 341-344).
