Jean-Léon Gérome was one of the most famous
artists of his day, yet throughout his
career he was the object of polemical debate
and harsh criticism. Long stigmatized
as the embodiment of sterile academicism,
he is now considered to be one of the greatest
painters of ht nineteenth century. This
catalogue traces Gérome’s unique career
and features his major works – from history
paintings to polychrome sculptures – there -
by casting the nineteenth century in a new
light.
