Nevertheless, it was his historical compositions that brought him the greatest success. Before devoting himself to Salammbô, Druet had won acclaim for his interpretation of Théophile Gautier in La rentrée de Pharaon en Egypte. According to the dictionnaire National de contemporains, it was thanks to this painting and "Salammbô au festin des mercenaires", probably exhibited in Paris in 1894, that the painter was sent on an artistic mission to the Far East that year. A certain Raymond, a journalist for "Le Monde Artiste", describes an 1895 exhibition of 57 paintings organized by the artist in Ceylon, which included "Salammbô". This seems to be the real beginning of the painter's Orientalist vein, in which he became most famous. Druet settled in Ceylon, where he founded an academy, then traveled to India, Kashmir, Tibet, Nepal, Afghanistan and Burma. Everywhere, he acted as an ambassador for French art, facilitating the sale of contemporary works. The artist returned to France in 1900, but continued to travel in Europe, Russia, Tunisia and Algiers, where he once again set up a painting academy taught by his friend Georges Rochegrosse. In "Salammbô au festin des mercenaires", Antoine Druet chose to depict the first chapter of Flaubert's novel. This inaugural scene enabled the artist to demonstrate his ability to render the multiplicity of characters through the diversity of costumes, facial features and the profusion of decorative elements. It is also a decisive moment, recounting Salammbô's first appearance not only to the reader, but also to her suitors Mathö and Narr'Havas. Critics have praised the meticulous research deployed on the canvas, which is seen as an important scholarly tableau, animated by numerous characters. If Druet's composition brilliantly conveys the multitude portrayed by the novelist, the dramatic tension in which the painter places the heroine appears as a theatrical reference, with the canvas acting as a set. Placed in the center of attention, above the torchlight, Salammbô spreads the bars in a movement of incomprehension and reproach towards the sacrilegious mercenaries. In this, she mimics the attitudes of the performers in the opera of the same name, as portrayed in prints and photographs. Salammbô's hairstyle and costume, far removed from the black tunic described by Flaubert, rather reflect that of Rose Caron in the title role of Ernest Reyer's 1890 opera, while the overall composition evokes Act V of the same opera, several prints of which were reproduced in contemporary newspapers."
