Portrait of Armand Gérôme

Artist: Jean-Léon Gérôme (French, 1824 - 1904)

Original Dimensions: 19 3/4" x 17 1/4"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (1848) "This portrait by Jean-Léon Gérôme is of his younger brother, Claude-Armand, who is dressed in the uniform of the École Polytechnique, a prestigious school of higher education in Paris. It is related to an almost full-length portrait that was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1848 and which is now in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. Claude-Armand was 21 when the portrait was painted, but died of meningitis only two years later. Gérôme may have painted the smaller portrait as a preparatory study for the full version, or as a commemorative image after his brother’s death. Both paintings display Gérôme’s skill as a portraitist as he captures the slight droop on Armand’s left eyelid and perhaps just a hint of youthful arrogance. The smooth application of the paint in thin glazes, the minute attention to details of clothing and Claude-Armand’s cool reserve recall portraits by Ingres, whom Gérôme greatly admired." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
