JEAN LEON GEROME. Bashi-bazouk

JEAN LEON GEROME. Bashi-Bazouk. Artist: Jean-Léon Gérôme (French, Vesoul 1824-1904 Paris). Dimensions: 31 3/4 x 26 in. (80.6 x 66 cm). Date: 1868-69. This arresting picture was made after Gérôme returned to Paris from a twelve-week journey to the Near East in early 1868. He was at the height of his career when he dressed a model in his studio with textiles he had acquired during the expedition. The artist's Turkish title for this picture--which translates as "headless"--evokes the unpaid irregular soldiers who fought ferociously for plunder under Ottoman leadership, although it is difficult to imagine this man charging into battle wearing such an exquisite silk tunic. Gérôme's virtuosic treatment of textures provides a sumptuous counterpoint to the figure's dignified bearing.
