Allegory and Myth Weis Books

6 x 9 inch full color paperback; available in multiple formats. Custom versions in terms of other standard book sizes or language are often available at no added cost. William-Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 - August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter and traditionalist. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations and allegories of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body ' Allegory and Myth ' is a collection of Bouguereau paintings, selected from the Public Domain. My hope that viewing these representations will lead to a wider viewing of this 19th century master at work. His photo-realism, is remarkable for the time frame in terms of brushes and paints that were available to any painter. Technique and composition within the category are top rate.
