Beethoven and William Bouguereau PaintingsWilliam Adolphe Bouguereau (30 noiembrie 1825 19 august 1905) a fost un pictor academic francez. William-Adolphe Bouguereau s-a nascut în La Rochelle, Franta. Student al Scolii de arte frumoase din Paris (Ecole des Beaux-Arts), a câstigat Prix de Rome în 1850. Picturile sale realizate în genul realismului artistic, precum si temele sale de inspiratie mitologica l-au facut extrem de popular, fiind unul din pictorii care a expus la constant la Salonul din Paris, de-a lungul întregii sale vieti artistice. Desi spre sfârsitul vietii sale, pictorul însusi a considerat ca a cazut într-un fel de dizgratie, în mare parte datorata opozitiei sale constante curentului impresionist, în lumea contemporana exista o reconsiderare a artei sale si un nou val de apreciere îi înconjoara cele opt sute treizeci si sase (836) de picturi finalizate. http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/William-Adolphe_Bouguereau William-Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter. William Bouguereau (pronounced vill-yam boo-guh-roe) was a staunch 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.William-Adolphe Bouguereau was born in La Rochelle, France on November 30, 1825, into a family of wine and olive oil merchants. He seemed destined to join the family business but for the intervention of his uncle Eugène, a curate, who taught him classical and biblical subjects, and arranged for Bouguereau to go to high school. Bouguereau showed artistic talent early on and his father was convinced by a client to send him to the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, where he won first prize in figure painting for a depiction of Saint Roch. To earn extra money, he designed labels for jams and preserves.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William-Adolphe_BouguereauWilliam Bouguereau code pour embarquer la vidéo : >>> http://www.youtube.com/embed/eiZHpZnwyfI <<< |
