French painter and sculptor (1824–1904)
Jean-Léon Gérôme was a French painter and sculptor who lived from 1824 to 1904 and became one of the most prominent academic artists of his time. His works, which often depicted historical scenes, orientalist subjects, and classical themes, were highly influential in 19th-century art, though his academic style later fell out of favor as modern art movements emerged.

Encyclopedic overview
Jean-Léon Gérôme ( French: [ʒɑ̃leɔ̃ ʒeʁom]; 11 May 1824 – 10 January 1904) 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".
He was also a teacher with a long list of students, including Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, Edwin Lord Weeks and Osman Hamdi Bey, among others.
