About the piece
Jean-Léon Gérôme's 'The Duel After the Masquerade' is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. Set in the misty Bois de Boulogne, the painting depicts the tragic conclusion of a dispute at a ball, with the brightly colored costumes of the Commedia dell'arte figures providing a stark, dramatic contrast against the muted, cold backdrop of a winter morning.
