- William Bouguereau without question is one of the finest painters of any generation, certainly revered by trained artists and highly praised in his day for 'Knowledge, Taste and Refinement', his perfectionism and professionalism were displayed throughout his long career. Beginning as a youth from very modest beginnings his talent broke through the ranks to be honored by the French nation and admired worldwide, he was much sought after by American collectors as well. Today his work is once again at the heights it should always be.
Critics, I long ago decided, love to tear down the greatest of artists because they have no talents themselves..other than their ability to seethe with jealousy and rage at those who do. I ignore critics of the past and of the present, and decide for myself what I love. This man's work is one of the superb miracles of my life...exquisite!
The Greatest Painter !
A few years ago, a fellow from the Florence Academy gave a 2 week class on fabulous painting - Bouguereau was my choice to copy. I had stopped painting after I saw 4 selfies Rembrandt painted in an exhibition, 20 years earlier. Why I thought things would come out differently is the measure of insanity; repeat the mistake and expect a serendipity. Didn't happen. It must be said that I never had a room in which to paint properly. The iPad changed everything for me, and I've grown other skills of the craft besides the drawing. It is my choice of medium - but oh... there are times when I long to hold a brush.💐 Zeus, he's a master par excellence.
Thanks to this channel for posting videos on artists like Bouguerau. I love Van Gogh and Titian, but even your favourite dish will bore you in the end if you gourge it for years, so I appreciate the possibility of knowing other artists like Bouguerau or Ilya Repin .
One of my favorite artists. Love the subjects and style. Thanks so much for presenting him.
Swimming in an ocean of ugliness of the, so called, "modern art", the works of classical Painters look like an oasis, a breath of fresh air, full of true natural beauty and splendour, that is so uplifting to the soul !
Fabulous video. Wonderful painter!
so serene and pleasant. Thanks for the presentation.
For me the greatest painter to date, what craftsmanship and observation skills.
Marvelous Art of a master artist!!!! Great video!!!
I absolutely love this artists work. I have had the privilege of viewing The Elder Sister which hangs in the Museum of Fine Art in Houston. I have a small print of it so I can look at it often. It has always been my favorite painting in the entire Museum.
One of my favorites.
Magnificent! Wonderfully presented. Thank you.
Wow that's awesome skills and abilities and I am inspired by this
Excellent - thank you.
Brilliant video! Well done
I've been fortunate enough to see several of Bouguereau's paintings and I'm always amused by those who deride his painting as "too slick." One just has to look closely and carefully at the surface of his paintings to see that while his brushwork is indeed subtle it is also quite lively and surprisingly robust. I remember looking at Bouguereau's portrait of Madame la Comtesse de Cambaceres on display at the Seattle Art Museum from their permanent collection and hearing a passerby who quickly glanced at it and reacted to it by saying "bourgeois" in a mocking tone to his black-clad goth companions as they hurried past. Later I was amused to see him buying the poster to SAM's exhibition of contemporary Japanese art and was tempted to ask him if there was anything more "bourgeois" than buying a poster as a memento to an art exhibition but thought it hypocritical to do so as I was buying the catalog to the exhibition of American watercolors that was also showing at SAM at the time. ;>)
Im doing a bicep tattoo with the virgin mary and angels. Its a symbolic piece that personally represents my catholic roots and origins, and the relation mom son, and actually the fact my mom is called Maria.
Great video!!
Amazing to me that he was so prolific when having to first produce such detailed preparatory drawings before even applying paint
