More about ~William-Adolphe Bouguereau~

**William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)
[ France ]

William-Adolphe Bouguereau was the consummate academic painter of the 19th century: trained at the École des Beaux-Arts, a Salon favorite whose mastery of draftsmanship, anatomy, and glazing made his paintings look almost photographic in finish.
Bouguereau painted classical and mythological subjects, genre scenes, and idealized figures- especially the n.ude with astonishing polish: skin appears translucent, hair is rendered strand-by-strand, and drapery folds read like carved marble.

His imagery often combines tender domesticity with Greco-Roman motifs; shepherd girls, sleeping infants, and gods made flesh are all composed with careful symmetry, perfect foreshortening, and soft, diffused lighting that heightens sentiment. Though reviled by some modernists for being conservative, his work provides a masterclass in rendering flesh, reflected light, and the seamless application of glazes to create depth and luminosity.
