arts marketplace browse the arts submit arts news media kit ... Artist : Jean-leon Gerome Nationality: French Movement: Media: Painting Influences: Biography: Jean-Leon Gerome was the son of a goldsmith who discouraged him to join the painting studio of a Parisian artist. He worked in France for a while, selling religious cards before moving to Italy. Gerome was given a commission by the French government in the late 1840’s to paint a mural titled Age of Augustus. In order to acquire source material for this project, he traveled across Europe and Asia Minor and then spent two years working on the detailed painting. Upon its completion, Gerome spent several months sketching in Egypt. Later in his career, he abandoned the mythological and history paintings for which he was known and began sculpting. He was appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

Gérôme painting "Thirst - Tigress and Cubs" (photograph c.1899) Born: Vesoul, France 11 May 1834 Died: Paris, France 10 Jan 1904 His schooling complete, in 1840 at the age of 16, he set out for Paris with a letter of introduction to Paul Delaroche Encouraged by Delaroche, he offered a drawing to the Magasin Pittoresque and had it accepted. Thereafter he became a regular contributor. He supplemented his allowance further by, together with his friends, mass-producing sets of 'stations of the cross' to be sold in the religious shops. In Italy, he spent much time studying the antiquities, which formed the basis for many of his later motifs, and it was in the Naples museum that he encountered the famous gladiatoral armour from Pompeii that was to inspire his gladiatorial scenes. However, his stay in Italy was cut short by a bout of typhoid fever and his mother had to travel from Vesoul to nurse him. Returning to Paris in the autumn of 1844, he entered the atelier of the famous Swiss painter and teacher Charles Gleyre (1806-1874) who had more or less taken over from Delaroche. He was a popular teacher and an excellent and erudite draughtsman, with a technique in oils considered to be one of the most secure at the time - this when oil paint was not yet supplied in tubes and a careful scientific mixing was required to avoid rapid deterioration of the pigments over time. Amongst his many later famous students, to whom he had obviously imparted his special techniques, were Monet, Renoir, Bazille and Whistler. Besides the usual drawing or painting from a model or cast, Gleyre also taught composition - a rare occurrence in an atelier. Remembering his own poverty as a student, he never charged attendance fees at his classes.

From Page C8, THE WASHINGTON TIMES Sunday, Oct. 29, 2000 By Robert Stacy McCain Reign of Modernism will End in 21st-century, Critics Contend Art in the 21st century will draw its inspiration from traditions that were largely neglected during modernism's 20th-century heyday, say artists, critics and collectors who advocate a return of classical ideals. "I look at modern art as very much like what happened with communism it was an idea that was a house of cards and couldn't work," says Allan Banks, president of the American Society of Classical Realism and vice chairman of the American Society of Portrait Artists. "A lot of the rubbish that we've been handed (in the 20th century) has pretty much played itself out,'' Mr. Banks says. "I think you're finding generations of (artists) who are really interested in getting back to discipline and tradition." While American artists are enjoying this return to tradition Mr. Banks says leading portrait painters now report being ``booked two and three years advance'' public tastes have likewise turned toward the traditional.

Most of his lion paintings date from the 1880s and usually feature a solitary male at rest, hunting, or at play. This painting is distinguished by its compelling solemnity, as a kingly male lion, silhouetted against the flat and endless desert horizon, gazes at the setting sun. Separated by a vast distance, these two powers seem to commune privately in a primal and eternal harmony. The Two Majesties , ca. 1882/83. Oil on canvas. Layton Art Collection, Gift of Louis Allis.
