William-Adolphe Bouguereau (30 November, 1825 – 19 August, 1905) was a French artist who demonstrated his drawing talent at a very young age. His uncle supported him and offered him jobs to create portraits for parishioners. Recognizing his talent and after being encouraged by a friend, his father took him to the Paris-based Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In 1850, a painting he made of a Saint Roch earned him Prix de Rome prize. He created art that attracted many buyers, particularly the rich Americans, and made a name for himself among some of the most celebrated artists of his time. Bouguereau brushed shoulders with the great Impressionists, Monet and Degas, even though he wasn’t a proponent of their artistic movement. He just focused on creating realist art, displaying them on different platforms across France. Bouguereau’s subjects never varied so much, focusing more on the woman body, and providing modern variations of his subjects. His main medium was oil paint, even though he tried out other media as well.
Owing to his artistry, Bouguereau’s artwork pieces were exhibited at the Salon for the whole of his active life. He created a total of 826 artwork pieces and sold several of them. Although most of them were his own art, there were several of them that he created for clients. Bouguereau is reputed for having lobbying for the inclusion of women in the art movements and art institutions, including Academie Francaise. He received several honors and enjoyed popularity across France and the US, but that would later disappear in the early 1900s, possibly because tastes were changing. His art would only regain their status within the last quarter of 20th century. Currently, more than 100 museums display his art while William-Adolphe Bouguereau framed art pieces are also sold by numerous galleries globally.
