Jean-Leon Gerome, a French painter and sculptor, titled this work Anacreon with Bacchus and Cupid.
Jean-Leon Gerome (1824-1904) was a French painter and sculptor in what is now called the style of Academicism. This work, titled Anacreon with Bacchus and Cupid, is housed in the Museum at Toulouse. Gerome had a magic brush that permitted him to undertake all types of painting with the same facility. This is how he so often happened to treat subjects taken from antiquity and was able to render them in all their classic beauty. It is not without interest to compare him, in this style of painting with Nicholas Poussin, whom he admired, and with Puvis de Chavannes, whose method he execrated.
