Jean Léon Gérôme
French, 1824–1904
Jean Léon Gérôme was a French Orientalism painter. 55 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Jean Léon Gérôme was born in Vesoul.
Jean-Léon Gérôme was a French painter and sculptor in the style now known as academicism. His paintings were so widely reproduced that he was "arguably the world's most famous living artist by 1880." The range of his works includes historical paintings, Greek mythology, Orientalism, portraits, and other subjects.
Gérôme is considered among the most important painters from the academic period and was, with Meissonier and Cabanel, one of "the three most successful artists of the Second Empire".
