Did you know that Jean Léon Gérôme and James Abbott McNeill - TopicsExpress



          

Did you know that Jean Léon Gérôme and James Abbott McNeill Whistler werent impressed with each others artistic abilities? The two were contemporaries, but Gérôme stuck to more traditional academic painting while Whistler strayed from that style. As a sign of their rivalry, Gérôme once painted an image of a lion snapping at a butterfly. (He often depicted himself as a lion because of his middle name, and Whistler often signed his paintings with a butterfly.) Which one do you think is better?
