About This Design

Pieta by Bouguereau Holiday Card

Pieta by Bouguereau Holiday Card

Pieta by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1876, is a large oil on canvas painting of the Virgin Mary cradling the dead Christ in her arms, surrounded by a host of weeping angels. The dark, sombre tones and smooth, painstaking academic technique produce a powerful religious image of lamentation and remorse. Bouguereau adds the archaic forms of the flattened, gold leaf halos on the heads of Jesus and Mary, as well as the classical urn in the foreground, connecting his powerful Pietà to its predecessor works of art from the Byzantine, Mediaeval and Renaissance eras. 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.

The card itself brought a smile to the face of its recipient and has quickly become a favourite. It has pride of place on the mantle shelf above the fire. The quality of the card, the printing and the overall composition are all excellent.

My grandson liked the card. Your cards are always great quality. I enjoyed being able to use a photo of him in the card, as these cards are keepsakes. The only disappointment was that I couldn’t get a gamer themed card. He is a very passionate gamer.
