My Favourite Artist



Hi Everybody!


Today I want to talk about my favourite artist! It is very difficult to me to pick just one, but anyway I've done. His name is Jean Leon Géròme, he was born in May 11th of 1824, in France.

He was an academic painter and sculptor whose works are usually of historical subject , mythology , Orientalism, portraits and other subjects.

In his work can be seen his laborious, thoughtful, mastery in drawing and color, so his painting has a powerful realization.

I like his realistic style of painting and even more I like the topics addressed , mythology and especially the scenes in the Middle East, are about everyday situations but manages to make special and as the atmosphere fills the picture of a soft golden hue when represents the twilight .

Finally I have to point out that one of his works is called ' Summer afternoon on a lake ' which reminds me of the colors of those summer afternoons of my childhood, with my family when we were doing picnic along the river.
