William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Fine Art Print : Elegy William-Adolphe Bouguereau (French: [buɡ(ə)ʁo]; November 30, 1825 – August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter and traditionalist. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde. By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes. In the 1980s, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. _____________________________________________________________________ Available as a high quality giclee print in lots of sizes. _____________________________________________________________________ Also available on heavyweight canvas pre-stretched on a 1.5 inch deep wooden frame, ready to hang The canvas prints are mirror printed on all 4 edges and do not require an additional frame. _____________________________________________________________________ small prints are shipped in stiffened envelopes larger prints are carefully rolled and shipped in a tube If ordering a combination of print sizes, smaller prints may be rolled with larger prints and shipped together for combined postage discounts. pre-stretched canvas shipped in boxes See more of Bouguereau here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FabVintagePosters?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&search_query=Bouguereau
