Summary

Description
English: At the Paris Salon of 1895, Gérôme showed this painting entitled "Mendacibus et histrionibus occisa in puteo jacet alma Veritas." (English: "The nurturer Truth lies in a well, having been killed by liars and actors.") Naked Truth has been killed and thrown into a well and her mirror thrown after her. At the the next Salon in 1896, Gérôme showed his painting "Truth Coming Out of Her Well." It has been argued that both paintings were comments on the Dreyfus affair.
