About This Design

Elegy by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Elegy by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Elegy (also Douleur d'Amour, or Pain of Love) by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1899, is an oil on canvas painting of a female figure mourning over a crypt in a forest. A winged cupid at her feet wipes tears from his eyes. Bouguereau likely painted the smooth, realistic figure from life, with influences from classical antiquity and the Renaissance. William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) was a French painter who trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and the Villa Medici in Rome. He exhibited with great success in the French Salon and became one of most renowned and wealthy artists of his era. Bouguereau worked in the French Academic tradition, a school of late 19th century modern painters who concentrated on the human figure and classical subjects in highly polished works of optical realism. His main interest was the female figure, usually rendered in quasi-classical, finely drawn contours, in subjects that were often sentimental. Bouguereau's reputation diminished greatly in the 20th century with the rise of Modernism, but interest in his traditional figurative paintings has surged again in recent years.

This was exactly what was wanted for my piano crazy grandson! He is self taught & is now having lessons by a top teacher and has been asked to play at various venues in the US! We are so proud of him and this card was so just right for him! I couldn’t tell because I had it sent directly to him because I am in Australia & he is in the US but he said it was beautiful!!
