About This Artist:
"I accept and respect all schools of painting which have as their basis the sincere study of nature, the search for the true and the beautiful." - Wm. Bouguereau William Bouguereau, born in France in 1825, was one of the most successful and popular painters of the second half of the 19th century. His works express perhaps better than any other's the values of classical French academic art: exquisite drawing and masterful perspective, rich coloration, dramatic yet harmonious composition, and classical and realistic subjects masterfully modeled. His technical skill is unquestionable. Yet these very qualities represent much of what the then-new school of Impressionism rebelled against, and Bouguereau's work, dismissed and scorned as "academic," fell into near obscurity for many years after his death. In recent decades, Bouguereau has been rediscovered by art historians, curators, and buyers. Museums display his work and his paintings bring ever-higher prices at auction. Those who love this artist's work appreciate the tenderness with which he portrayed children and young women, his subtle revelation of personality and mood, his glowing colors, his lovely angels and graceful nudes, and the astonishingly realistic yet delicately transcendent quality of the images he created.
Bouguereau was a disciplined and prolific artist, known to have created over 700 finished paintings in his long lifetime.
He painted, sketched, and planned tirelessly and passionately, and was also a devoted teacher. Among his many achievements, one rarely mentioned is his role in opening the French art academies to women artists. He died in 1905.Using These Images
