William-Adolphe Bouguereau
Born:  Nov 30th, 1825
Died:  Aug 19th, 1905 (aged 79)

It's no doubt Bouguereau painted a lot of nudes. I myself am not drawn to those paintings in particular. I do however, find his ability to capture the delicate beauty of the human form INCREDIBLE. Many of his paintings look alive, the eyes and facial detail almost seem to speak.  See the video below...  Bouguereau will continue to amaze me and I hope it will be my privilege to see his artwork in person someday. I understand that over one hundred museums throughout the world exhibit his work!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Bouguereau's art. Have you seen any of his paintings in person? Do you recognize his work? Please leave your comments below.
Till next time....
