Jean-Léon Gérôme (11 May 1824 – 10 January 1904) was a French painter and sculptor in the
style now known as Academicism. The range of his oeuvre included
historical painting, Greek mythology, Orientalism, portraits and other
subjects, bringing the Academic painting
tradition to an artistic climax. He is considered one of the most
important painters from this academic period, and in addition to being a
painter, he was also a teacher with a long list of students.[no-sidebar]
