About the Artist: William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905) was a master of French academic painting, known for his refined technique and idealized depictions of mythological and allegorical subjects. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and winner of the Prix de Rome, he blended classical themes with emotional realism. Bouguereau’s works—often featuring women and children—were celebrated for their grace and detail. Though overshadowed by modernist movements in his later years, his legacy has been revived for its technical brilliance and poetic beauty.
