Gerome 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 the nineteenth century. Gerome's interest in Antiquity, his theatrical approach to history painting, and his complex relationships with the Orient and with the new medium of photography all contributed to his highly inventive imagery. Aquired by American collectors at an early date, Gerome's oeuvre fired teh new world's historical imaginatoin and even inspired its favorite medium, the movies. This catalogue traces Gerome's unique career and features his major works - from history paintings to polychrome sculptures - thereby casting the nineteenth century in a new light.
