About After The Bath (Après Le Bain) JeanLeon Gerome Orientalism Art Painting
This private scene of a woman’s bath is a scene Gerome never witnessed, and instead was likely staged and executed in his studio. Because of his travels and his ability to depict exacting detail using a meticulous, polished technique, Gérôme expertly renders texture and surface—vibrant, nearly iridescent draped textiles, intricately patterned tilework, gleaming metal water basin—he also exploits the racial difference between the two enslaved women: the pale, red-headed nude bather (likely Circassian) and her African attendant, both subjugated female bodies presented for consumption. Jean-Léon Gérôme was a French painter and sculptor in the style now known as academicism. The range of his oeuvre included historical painting, Greek mythology, Orientalism, portraits, and other subjects, bringing the academic painting tradition to an artistic climax.
