William Bouguereau

The Little Marauders (1872)


































An artist I had never seen before, William Bouguereau, popped up during some research for art class. I love the way he captures expressions so well! He enjoyed painting girls and Greek and Roman mythology. In fact, I only saw one painting in which the center character was a man: The Flagellation of Christ. You can see that picture and much more of his work here.

At the Edge of the River (1875)
