Jean-Leon Gerome

Jean-Léon Gérôme born in Vesoul on May 11, 1824 and died in Paris on January 10, 1904 is a French painter and sculptor. Member of the Academy of Fine Arts, he composed orientalist, mythological, historical and religious scenes. Considered one of the most famous French artists of his time, Jean-Léon Gérôme is one of the main representatives of academic painting of the Second Empire. After enjoying considerable success and notoriety during his lifetime, his violent hostility towards the avant-gardes, and mainly the Impressionists, caused him to fall into oblivion after his death. His work was rediscovered at the end of the 20th century and enjoyed posterity by becoming, among other things, a source of inspiration for cinema. GettyMuseum. Public domain.
