Two precious paintings dated very close from one another here - hard to say which is more exquisite. The chiaroscuro is most impressive in both.


William Bouguereau - Le Lever (Young Mother Gazing at her Child)
(oil on canvas, 1871)


William Bouguereau - During the Storm
(oil on canvas - 1872)

Another wonderful masterpiece of those magical years. From its inception, 'The Spinner' has multitudinously been acclaimed as an epitome of beauty.

Yes, Bouguereau was all about beauty and exquisiteness in art. Only in later years would he recognize Impressionism as a valid school.. but not fully.

In the Spinner the fabric looks so real, the folds and crinkles look like the dress may have been pressed but in the wearing has started to wilt!
Fascinating.
