by Gerome, Jean Leon (1824-1904); 67.31x98.43 (framed) 50x81.2 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Leaving the Oasis repeats several themes in GerA'mes art - camel caravans, oases, expansive desert landscapes. As an academic realist, GerA'me painted everyday scenes in a meticulous and polished style. Here he carefully rendered the unique forms of the figures dress and the camels physical features, as well as the colours of the changing sky and the violet shadows cast by the airborne dogs and the legs of the camels.
Although the pictures smoothness and detail suggest a photographic image, GerA'me actually composed his paintings in the studio, basing them on memories and sketches from his visits to the Near East. Following his first trip to Egypt in 1856, he developed into a major figure among 19th-century " Orientalists" -artists who specialized in representing Near Eastern life, culture, and landscapes.); Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Noah L.

Leaving the Oasis, 1880s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean Leon Gerome that transports viewers to the vast and mysterious landscapes of the Near East. This meticulously crafted artwork showcases Gerome's expertise as an academic realist, capturing everyday scenes with remarkable attention to detail. The painting depicts a camel caravan departing from an oasis, highlighting recurring themes in Gerome's art - camels, oases, and expansive desert vistas. The figures' attire and the physical features of the camels are rendered with precision, while the changing sky and violet shadows cast by airborne dogs add depth to the composition. Despite its photographic-like smoothness and intricate details, "Leaving the Oasis" was actually composed in Gerome's studio using memories and sketches from his visits to Egypt. Following his initial trip in 1856, he became renowned as one of the leading Orientalist artists of the 19th century. His works focused on representing life, culture, and landscapes from this exotic region. This particular print is housed at Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It serves as a testament to Gerome's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into distant lands through his masterful brushstrokes. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. Noah L. Butkin has ensured that this mesmerizing piece continues to inspire audiences today.
