"Refocusing attention on the work of Gérôme, long dismissed as an
antihero of modernism, this groundbreaking publication puts a new
critical spin on aspects of his art once reviled - his popular
appeal and the attendant mass reproduction of his paintings, his
zeal for anthropological accuracy, his pictorial narrative
techniques, and his cinematic imagination." - Petra ten-Doesschate
Chu, Professor, Seton Hall University
"This engaging group of perspectives 'by this younger generation of
scholars' attempts to redefine key terms and practices and contests
the notion that Gérôme's detailed images were intended for merely
'passive consumption.'"--H-France Review
"Opens the field to fresh scholarship."--The Burlington Magazine
