This book demonstrates that by the 1850s the historical paintings no longer excited the French public. This provocative study reveals Gerome, typically dismissed as a conservative painter, as a pioneering innovator who responded swiftly to this crisis in art. In a group of experimental paintings in the late 1850s, he devised a quintessentially modern mode of historical representation.
