The art of William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) from 1879-1904. Bouguereau was the epitome of a French academy painter. Classically trained and meticulous in his work, he won awards and commanded high prices for his art. He painted over 600 paintings, perhaps 825 (h/t Chris Fox), which appear in museums around the world. THIS type of art is what the Impressionists were rebelling against. Vivaldi, Four Seasons, The Hit Crew. Vivaldi, Concerto for Two Flutes, Musici Di San Marco and Alberto Lizzio.

My earliest love of art came from a book owned by my grandmother and mother of Academy painters, including Bouguereau - Vicars, 1902.

Vicars says of Bouguereau:

"The greatest modern master of figure painting, at least in the academic sense, William Adolphe Bouguereau, was born at La Rochelle, in the Gironde, in 1825. When he was seventeen years old, he had saved enough out of his earnings to carry him to Paris and support him there for a year. On this capital he became a pupil of Picot, and in 1843 entered as a student into the Ecole des Beaux Arts, until in 1850 he won the great prize scholarship known as the Prix de Rome, which entitled him to study four years in Italy at the expense of the Government. He became an Officer of the Legion of Honor. He was elected a member of the Institute. He was made honorary member of all the great art academies of Europe. He was loaded with medals, until they formed a unique collection in themselves. "
