His work was rediscovered in the late twentieth century. Very young, Jean-Léon Gérôme showed natural talent for drawing. He continued his studies in Paris in 1841.

His best works were inspired by him Orientalist current, based on Egyptian and Ottoman subjects. In 1862, his paintings were experiencing a wide distribution, especially due to the fact that he married January 17, 1863 Marie Goupil, daughter of Adolphe Goupil, an editor and renowned art dealer, whom gave him four daughters, Jeanne (1863 -1914), wife of art dealer Stephen Boussod, Suzanne (1867-1941), wife of the painter Aimé Morot, Madeleine (1875-1907), wife of the publisher Pierre Masson, White (1878-1918), and a son, John (1864-1891).
