Bouguereau was an artist who painted in academic style realistic artworks with scenes of mythology but interpreted in a contemporary style, emphasizing on complex compositions with naked bodies. Adolphe-William Bouguereau has achieved great fame in France and especially in the United States, where collectors of his art valued his artworks a lot. Bouguereau could not find a common language with the new art of Impressionists and French avant-garde, and his academic style was perceived with irony by these modern artists. Towards the late 19th and early 20th century public opinion in France changed its taste to the art of the artist and began to accept it with irony and denial. It was not until the early 1980s that the positive attitude of the audience to the art of Bouguereau was revived again and collectors around the world began to look for his paintings again. The artist is the author of more than 800 paintings and a number of preparatory sketches.
