There are actually two more paintings of Truth in the well painted by Gerome; one painted before all the others:
Truth at the Bottom of a Well, 1895
And one in between the two that have been already shared:
Truth is at the Bottom of the Well, 1895
Dude wasn’t exactly the most original when it came to his naming conventions, but he sure did paint a bad bitch.
Gérôme pitching one of his painting ideas to his friend: so you see…. there’s this….
His friend: please don’t say well
Gérôme: there’s this well
Truth’s Well Got No Business Looking Like This, 1895, by Jean-Léon Gérôme.
