Bouguereau and Exaltation of the Human Body

Post by Madavascus »

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!
