Jean-Léon Gérôme Orientalist LoRA Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset consists of high-quality digital reproductions of 19th-century Orientalist and Historical paintings by the French academic artist Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), paired with concise descriptions.

The descriptions are specifically formulated for use in fine-tuning Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules of modern generative image models, focusing on Gérôme's distinctive Academic Realism, smooth finish, Orientalist settings, and characteristic color palettes.

Dataset Features

The data is structured as a collection of image files and a single metadata.jsonl file containing the descriptive data.

Feature Name Data Type Description Example
file_name string The file name of the corresponding image (e.g., horse_desert.jpg). horse_desert.jpg
title string The common title and year of the painting. Rider and his Steed in the Desert (1872)
text string The concise, technical description/prompt for model training. Jean-Léon Gérôme style, Academic realism. A lone Arab rider kneeling beside his exhausted, glossy brown horse in the immense, sun-drenched desert. Stark light, smooth finish, Orientalist landscape.

Example for LoRA Fine-Tuning

This dataset is designed to be used with a vision-language model, where the text field serves as the prompt for training the LoRA module.

Target Style Prompt: "Jean-Léon Gérôme style, Academic realism. A long column of Egyptian recruits (soldiers/civilians), with a few armed guards, walking through a vast, sun-baked desert. Figures are clustered in a linear formation, casting long shadows on the sandy ground."
