WILLIAM-ADOLFE BOUGUEREAU 1825-1905
- Pre-Raphaelite painter most famous for his paintings of female characters from mythology.
-
- William Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 - August 19, 1905) As a young man, Bouguereau put himself through the Ecole des Beaux-Arts by keeping books for a wine merchant and coloring lithographic labels for a local grocer. In his spare time, late in the evening, he created drawings from memory. This diligence and discipline resulted in an extrordinarily productive artistic life. Bouguereau produced more than seven hundred finished works and achieved a remarkable level of public acclaim and financial success.
