Truth Coming Out of Her Well By Jean-Léon Gérôme


What is the reason behind saying, "The truth is naked?"




It is a painting with an amazing story

Artist: Jean-Léon Gérôme "drawn in 1896


The painting depicts a popular legend and a historical struggle between truth and lies

Legend says ...

Truth and lying met one day, and lying said to the truth: What is more beautiful this morning, so I raised the truth in her eyes’s suspicion of the sky to make sure of the truth of the news.

The lie said to the truth: I know the water in this well, what tormented it .. to come down and bathe in its fresh water

I looked the truth for a lie in doubt for the second time and touched the water and found it really sweet.

The two of them undressed to enjoy the sparkling well water

Suddenly, the lie came out of the well, quickly dressed, took the clothes of the truth with him, and fled

The truth came out from the well, naked and angry, running behind him in all places in search of her garment .. Human beings looked at the nakedness of the truth and waved their faces in anger

As for the poor truth, she returned to the well and disappeared forever because of her shame.


Since then, lying has traveled around the world, wearing the garment of truth ... meeting society's purposes while people refuse to see the truth naked.
