American Orientalist, Realist painter. He became one of the most well-known and well-regarded painters and became known as one of the world's most talented "Orientalist" painters. He went to Paris in 1866 and became a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme. A trip to Egypt in 1873-1874 resulted in pictures of the East that attracted immediate attention. Though Bridgman maintained a lifelong connection to France, his popularity in America never waned.
