About this painting

The story of The Duel After the Masquerade

Gérôme first showed the composition, Suite d'un bal masqué, in 1857; that original is in the Musée Condé at Chantilly. The painting became famous almost overnight, and Gérôme painted several replicas: one bought by William Thompson Walters in 1859 (this canvas), another for Prince Alexander of Russia, now in the Hermitage. A 1909–1910 poll in Baltimore ranked it the city's favourite artwork.

About the artist

Jean-Léon Gérôme

Jean-Léon Gérôme was a French painter and sculptor in the style now known as academicism. His paintings were so widely reproduced that he was "arguably the world's most famous living artist by 1880." The range of his works includes historical paintings, Greek mythology, Orientalism, portraits, and other subjects. Gérôme is considered among the most important painters from the academic period and was, with Meissonier and Cabanel, one of "the three most successful artists of the Second Empire".
