I absolutely love William A. Bouguereau. He is my favourite painter. A traditionalist, realist and classicist, this artistic genius absolutely blows my mind.
What I love about this artist is how he exalts the human body through mythological themes. It is as if he takes human beauty and makes it divine.
See for yourself!
