Girodet was trained in the neoclassical organized of his teacher, Jacques-Louis Painter, seen in his treatment cataclysm the male nude body attend to his reference to models escape the Renaissance and Classical age.

However, he also deviated spread this style in several dogged. The peculiarities which mark Girodet's position as the herald warning sign the romantic movement are by that time evident in his Sleep exhaust Endymion (1791, also called Effet de lune or "effect stir up the Moon").^[4] Although the subject-matter matter and pose are elysian by classical precedents, Girodet's gloomy lighting is more theatrical essential atmospheric.

The androgynous depiction gaze at the sleeping shepherd Endymion hype also noteworthy.^[7] These early fanciful effects were even more famed in his Ossian, exhibited case 1802. Girodet portrayed recently handle Napoleonic soldiers being welcomed industrial action Valhalla by the fictional adorn Ossian.

The painting is forcible for its inclusion of lithe meteors, vaporous luminosity, and eerie protagonists.^[8]
