It's very difficult to me to pick just one, but anyway! I've done .
His name is Jean Leon Géròme, he was born on 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 adressed, mythology and specially the scenses in the Middle East, are about everyday situations but manages to make a special and as the atmosphere fills the picture of a soft golden light when represents the twilight.
Some of most important works are:
Cockfight (1847)
Conssumaton Est (1867)
Louis XIV and Molière (1863)
Pollice verso (1872)
Excursion to the Harem (1869)
Summer afternoon on a lake (1895)
The slave market (1867)
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 afternoon of my childhood, with my family when we were doing picnic along the river.
I'll look for more on internet, you must share more pictures of his work on this spot! But still being a really nice painting.
