Illusion und Verführung

Die plastischen Arbeiten von Jean-Léon Gérôme

After a long period of disregard by modernist art historians, Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) is once again one of the much-discussed artists of the 19th century. This monograph offers the first systematic account of his sculptural works, which have hitherto remained largely untouched by this reassessment. The study includes both a genre-historical investigation of the specific mediality of his sculptures and a cultural-scientific exploration of the rapprochement between antiquity and modernity that is evident in the works. In this way, new contexts emerge that reveal the complexity of Gérôme's œuvre.

Brigitte Sahler studied European art history, museology and cultural anthropology / European ethnology in Heidelberg, Paris (École du Louvre) and Göttingen. Her professional stations include the Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Philipps-Universität Marburg and the German Center for Art History, Paris.
