BOUGUEREAU: Painting Photo Realistic Women Figures

Perhaps no other painters had given so lively and photo-realistic treatment to the figures as the master artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau had given. In doing so he did capture every aspect of the human body, every tender nuance of personality of the models sitting before his canvases. He gave life to the subtlest fraction of human body in his figurative paintings. He also tried embedding the moods of the model into paintings. He caught the soul of the figure before his eyes.

Bouguereau, the painter of photo-realisitc approach of painting, had created an idealised world. He put life into the concepts of goddesses, nymphs, bathers, shepherdesses, and madonnas by painting these characters on his canvases. His artistic insistance for the perfection in painting the contours of female body had generated a good clientele in the wealthy people of nineteenth century France. Bouguereau’s commitment to creations of realistic paintings had appealed his patrons.
Bouguereau was son of an olive oil merchant; he was a staunch traditionalist French painter. Though he preferred both realistic and mythological themes to decorate his canvases, he had presented the subjects with newer and fresh interpretations of the classical subjects he had selected to paint. Though he chose the natural beauty of female bodies as his subjects, he did represent the art. Perhaps this was the reason for making his paintings widely popular and the clients commissioned him generously.
