William-Adolphe
Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 – August 19, 1905) was a French academic
painter. William Bouguereau was a traditionalist whose realistic genre
paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of
Classical subjects with a heavy emphasis on the female human body.
Although he created an idealized world, his almost photo-realistic style was popular with rich art patrons. He was very famous in his time but today his subject matter and technique receive relatively little attention compared to the popularity of the Impressionists.
