Jean-Léon Gérôme

Jean-Léon Gérôme, born in 1824 in Vesoul and died in 1904 in Paris, was a French painter and sculptor associated with the Academic art movement. His works, such as 'The Snake Charmer' and 'The Duel After the Masquerade,' are celebrated for their meticulous detail and dramatic compositions. Gérôme's dedication to historical and Orientalist themes and his contributions to Academic art have made him a notable figure in 19th-century painting.
