Description
Adolphe-William Bouguereau (French, 1825-1905) created undying works of sensual, emotional, and intellectual appeal. Educated on the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he changed into a highly sought-after portraitist whose works were exhibited on the Salon and won medals in quite a lot of international exhibitions. In Bouguereau, creator Fronia E. Wissman offers astute and illuminating insights into the art, career, and circle of relatives lifetime of this great artist — whose beautiful paintings of a higher, purer time and place continue to search out favor with recent viewers.
