This monograph spans the entire life and work of Jean-Leon Gerome and is composed of two parts: a biographical appreciation and a catalogue of his paintings, prints and sculptures. The study of the artist's life is based on three ancient monographs, the perusal of the contemporary press and the recollections of students and friends. This catalogue is the result of 25 years of research. Approximately 700 paintings and 70 sculptures have been inventoried through archives, old State documents, catalogues and correspondence with collectors.

Between 1843 and 1922, American artists travelled to the Near East and North Africa, painting all that they discovered. Edwin Lord Weeks and Frederick Bridgman are amongst the most famous but there was also Francis Bacon, Samuel Colman, Swain Gifford and many others who specialised in Oriental compositions. Through their biographies, activities and travels, the author has endeavoured to let the artists speak for themselves, narrating their adventures and explaining their objectives, aided by correspondence, travel journals and various articles and books.
