Paris is the salon and the studio. Notable births stretch unbroken from the late Renaissance through the Belle Époque to the Nouvelle Vague, and whole subgenres of fame — the chansonnier, the salonnière, the ébéniste, the gallerist — exist here at densities found almost nowhere else. Painters, playwrights, sculptors, and architects crowd every century since 1600, and each era seems to leave its own profession on the books before the next one arrives.
