William-Adolphe Bouguereau


Nymphs and Satyr - 1873



Born: 1825 - Died: 1905.
As a young man, Bouguereau put himself through the Ecole des Beaux-Arts by keeping books for a wine merchant and colouring labels for a local grocer. In his spare time, he created drawings from memory. Bouguereau produced more than seven hundred finished works and achieved a remarkable level of public acclaim.
