His Michelangelo in his Studio shows the young master guiding the hand of a young boy. Like Degas, this student of Delaroche abandoned painting for sculpture in his old age. Though he was known for such works as The Cock Fight, a trip to Egypt in 1856 introduced an exotic element into his painting such as in Prayer in the Mosque of 'Amr, Old Cairo and Unfolding the Holy Flag and it is for this orientalism that me became best known. For 10 points, name this artist of Pollice Verso [PAH-lee-chay] and Pygmalion and Galatea.
