About the piece
Jean-Léon Gérôme's 'The Snake Charmer' (c. 1879) is a premier example of 19th-century Orientalism. The painting masterfully contrasts the supple skin of the central nude figure with the geometric complexity of the blue Iznik tiles and the textured robes of the captivated audience. This renowned work showcases Gérôme's celebrated technical precision and narrative drama.
