Biographye

French painter, was born on the 11th of May 1824 at Vesoul (Haute-SaOne). He went to Paris in 1841 and worked under Paul Delaroche, whom he accompanied to Italy (1844—1845). On his return he exhibited The Cock-fight, which gained him a third-class medal in the Salon of 1847. The Virgin with Christ and St John and Anacreon, Bacchus and Cupid took a second-class medal in 1848. He exhibited Bacchus and Love, Drunk, a Greek Interior and Souvenir d’Italie, in 1851; Paestum (1852); and An Idyll (1853).

In 1854 Gérôme made a journey to Turkey and the shores of the Danube, and in 1857 visited Egypt. To the exhibition of 1855 he contributed a Pifferaro, A Shepherd, A Russian Concert and a large historical canvas, The Age of Augustus and the Birth of Christ. The last was somewhat confused in effect, but in recognition of its consummate ability the State purchased it. Gérôme’s reputation was greatly enhanced at the Salon of 1857 by a collection of works of a more popular kind: the Duel: after a Masquerade, Egyptian Recruits crossing the Desert, Memnon and Sesostris and Camels Watering, the drawing of which was criticized by Edmond About. In Caesar (1859) Gérôme tried to return to a severer class of work, but the picture failed to interest the public. Phryne before the Areopagus, Le Roi Candaule and Socrates finding Alcibiades in the House of Aspasia (1861) gave rise to some scandal by reason of the subjects selected by the painter, and brought down on him the bitter attacks of Paul de Saint-Victor and Maxime Ducamps. At the same Salon he exhibited the Egyptian chopping Straw, and Rembrandt biting an Etching, two very minutely finished works. Gérôme’s best paintings are of Eastern subjects; among these may be named the Turkish Prisoner and Turkish Butcher (1863); Prayer (1865); The Slave Market (1867); and The Harem out Driving (1869). He often illustrated history, as in Louis XIV. and Moliere (1863); The Reception of the Siamese Ambassadors at Fontainebleau (1865); and The Death of Marshal Ney (1868).

Gérôme was also successful as a sculptor; he executed, among other works; Omphale (1887), and the statue of the due d’Aumale which stands in front of the chateau of Chantilly (1899). His Bellona (1892), in ivory, metal, and precious stones, which was also exhibited in the Royal Academy of London, attracted great attention. The artist then began an interesting series of Conquerors, wrought in gold, silver and gems — Bonaparte entering Cairo (1897); Tamerlane (1898) and Frederick the Great (1899). Gérôme was elected member of the Institut in 1865. He died in 1904.

Fue un gran pintor Frances, nacido el 11 de Mayo de 1824. Viajo a Paris en 1841 y trabajo bajo la mirada de otro gran Pintor Paul Delaroche, quien lo acompaño a Italia en 1844-45. Cuando retorno hizo una exhibicion llamada The Cock-fight donde gano una medalla de tercera clase en el Salon de 1847.

La Virgen con el Cristo y San Juan y Anacreonte Baco y Cupido tomó una medalla de segunda clase en 1848. Expuso Baco y el Amor, Borracho, un griego del Interior y de recuerdos de Italia, en 1851; Paestum (1852) y Un Idilio (1853).

En 1854 Gérôme hizo un viaje a Turquía y las orillas del Danubio, y en 1857 visitó Egipto. Para la exposición de 1855 que contribuyó con una Pifferaro, un pastor, un concierto de Rusia y un lienzo de grandes histórico, La Edad de Augusto y el nacimiento de Cristo. El último fue un poco confusa, en efecto, pero en reconocimiento a su capacidad de consumar el Estado lo adquirió. reputación Gérôme fue mejorada en gran medida en el Salón de 1857 por una colección de obras de carácter más popular: el Duelo: después de un baile de máscaras, los reclutas de Egipto cruzando el desierto, Memnón y Sesostris y camellos de riego, el dibujo de la cual fue criticada por Edmond About . En Caesar (1859) Gérôme intentó regresar a una clase más severas de trabajo, pero la imagen no el interés del público. Friné ante el areópago, Le Roi Candaule Alcibíades y Sócrates encontrar en la Cámara de Aspasia (1861) dio lugar a un escándalo a causa de los temas seleccionados por el pintor, y trajo sobre él los ataques amargo de Paul de Saint-Victor y Maxime Ducamps. En el Salón misma expuso el egipcio paja cortar y picar a un aguafuerte de Rembrandt, dos obras muy minucioso acabado. mejores pinturas Gérôme son los sujetos del Este, entre los que se puede denominar el prisionero turco y turco Carnicero (1863), Oración (1865), El mercado de esclavos (1867) y El harén de conducción (1869). A menudo se ilustra la historia, como en Luis XIV. y Moliere (1863), La recepción de los embajadores siameses en Fontainebleau (1865) y La muerte del Mariscal Ney (1868).

Gérôme también tuvo éxito como escultor, sino que ejecuta, entre otras obras; Onfalia (1887), y la estatua del duque de Aumale, que está en frente del castillo de Chantilly (1899). Su Bellona (1892), de marfil, metal y piedras preciosas, que se exhibió también en la Royal Academy de Londres, atrajo una gran atención. El artista entonces comenzó una interesante serie de conquistadores, forjado en oro, plata y piedras preciosas - Bonaparte entrar en El Cairo (1897); Tamerlán (1898) y Federico el Grande (1899). Gérôme fue elegido miembro del Instituto en 1865. Murió en 1904
