William Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 - August19, 1905) was a loyal traditionalist with a substantial emphasis on the human female figure. His genre of realistic paintings and themes associated with mythology were contemporary interpretations of classical themes. Rich patrons were drawn to his near photo-realistic style. In his time, Bouguereau was quite famous, yet today his work gets practically no attention compared to the impressionists popularity.
