Much intrigue often went on to get acceptance, and to be given a good place in the galleries. In 1851, Gustave Courbet managed to get one painting into the Salon, "Enterrement à Ornans", and in 1852 his "Baigneuses" was accepted, scandalizing critics and the public, who expected romanticized nudes in classical settings, but in 1855 the Salon refused all of Courbet's paintings. As early as the 1830s, Paris art galleries mounted small-scale, private exhibitions of works rejected by the Salon jurors. Courbet was obliged to organize his own exhibit, called "Le Realism", at a private gallery. Private exhibits attracted far less attention from the press and patrons, and limited the access of the artists to a small public.
