1825 The French port town of La Rochelle, 20 km from which the construction of the legendary Fort Boyar continues, is preparing to meet the winter. November has come to an end. In the family of wine merchant Theodor Bouguereau and his wife Maria Bonin today significant event. On this day a man will be born whose name will be at the head of french painting until the very end of the 19th century.

William Bouguereau

William became the second child in the family. Already in lower grades At school, his notebooks were filled with all sorts of drawings and sketches, which could not go unnoticed not only by classmates, but by the whole family of William. Obviously, the boy developed a passion. Theodore Bouguereau's affairs were not going well at that time. in the best way. Business did not flourish, because of this, financial difficulties arose and, as a result, quarrels. It was decided to send the children to relatives. One of these guardian relatives was the priest of the church of St. Etienne, 27-year-old uncle Yuzhen. It was to him that a talented boy came. Yuzhen instilled in the young artist an interest in philosophy, literature and mythology. Here, William also got acquainted with religious themes, without even imagining that the aesthetic foundation formed in this way would strike like a thunderbolt on the fine arts not only of France, but of the whole world. In 1839 the boy entered college. And five years later, the 19-year-old boy was expected by the first creative success. Despite the fact that William was the youngest in the group, he was able to portray St. Roch best of all, for which he was awarded the "Best history painting". Even then, the young talent dreamed of Paris, namely high school fine arts. Undoubtedly, clever Wil had every chance of successful admission, but he needed money. Seeing such a significant goal in front of him, he earned what, perhaps, he knew how to do best. Portraits of parishioners of the church and drawings of labels for jams did not serve the best tool to reveal the full potential of the artist, but so William gradually approached his dream.

Graduate School of Fine Arts

Citadel French classicism she spawned bohemia for fine arts for 175 years and to this day is an indicator of prestige. William Bouguereau became one of the best students here. In addition to school, he attended courses in the history of costume, studied archeology and took part in anatomical dissections. It was during this period that Bouguereau's skills were finally formed academic painting. And in 1850, the young artist again expected success.

"Zinovia, found on the banks of the Araks"

The painting "Zenovia found on the banks of the Araxes" became the intermediate result of Bouguereau's painstaking work and allowed him to win the Rome Prize. Bouguereau received a grant for a year of study in Italy.

Villa Medici

The majestic Villa Medici has become a new haven for young genius. Here William came into contact with all the splendor classical art, got acquainted with the works of such great masters as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. But for some reason, only the works of the latter aroused cathartic experiences in William. And, as a result, a copy of Raphael's fresco "The Triumph of Galatea" became the main result of the artist's internship. Rumor has it that here William showed interest in some occult sciences, such as alchemy, numerology and even spiritualism. And people inclined to mysticism are still looking for secret meaning in Bouguereau's signature, which after a trip to Italy changed from the traditional "Bouguereau" to the Latin version of her spelling "Bovgvereav".

After the artist returned to Paris, his popularity grew at a disastrous rate. And two years later, the talented painter married Marie-Nellie Monchablo. She bore him five children.

"Woman from Chervar and her child"

William didn't stop for a moment. Early in the morning he came to his studio, had a snack on eggs at noon, quenched his thirst with a glass of water, and left home after midnight. It seemed to work at night too. People wondered: "Where does Monsieur Bouguereau find time for new ideas?" Eternal dissatisfaction with himself and a manic thirst to improve his skills have secured him the nickname "Sisyphus of the 19th century." Bouguereau was compared to Rembrandt. It was said that Rembrandt captured the soul of old age, while Bouguereau captured the soul of youth. Excellent knowledge of anatomy human body, paranoid attention to detail, amazingly selected tones - all this made the paintings of William Bouguereau insanely realistic.

But a few years later, a series of tragedies occurred in his life. Within a short time, three of his five children perished. And after them, Marie-Nellie, Bouguereau's wife. This could not but affect creativity. Such canvases as The Virgin of Consolation and The Pieta appeared, whose depressing images expressed all the grief and severity of the loss.

"Pieta"

"Maid of Comfort"

Classical plots continued to personify the work of, perhaps, the main painter of the country at that time. But nudity female bodies and idleness caused discontent among many. Bouguereau was accused of debauchery and excessive eroticism of the paintings. Talked about corruption younger generation. And such allegorical symbols, such as, for example, a broken jug, meaning lost innocence, kindled the flame of criticism even more. But the work continued, and already in 1881 the French government transferred Bouguereau administrative control of the annual Paris Salon.

"Broken Jug"

In 1896, almost 20 years after the death of Marie-Nelli, William Bouguereau married a second time. New chosen one the artist was his own student Elizabeth Jane Gardner. A capable girl left painting and devoted herself entirely to her husband, helping him in organizational and administrative matters. Bouguereau, it would seem, found the long-awaited peace of mind. But unfortunately fate outstanding master prepared another heavy blow for him. Something happened that allowed many people to talk seriously about the curse. Died of tuberculosis last son William. He became the fourth dead child in the family.

"Oreads"

William Bouguereau outlived almost all of his children. Asthenic moods and accumulated fatigue made themselves felt. The artist began to age rapidly. Addiction to alcohol and smoking had a detrimental effect on the heart, and in 1905 the country said goodbye to the brilliant creator. He died in the same place where he was born, in the city of La Rochelle at the age of 79, leaving behind eternal memory in the form of their masterpieces.

"Nymphs and Satyr"

Meanwhile, entering new Age, France, like all of Europe, has changed the vector of views on art. With the advent of modernism, everyone forgot about the exceptional William Bouguereau, including his students, among whom, by the way, was the notorious Henri Matisse. Bouguereau's canvases were consigned to oblivion, and his name was subjected to harsh criticism. The world managed to see two world wars, while the work of one of the most talented artists throughout the history of painting gathering dust in attics and basements. Until 1980, one could only find small black-and-white images of his paintings, and even then only in godforsaken reference books.

"Prayer"

Fortunately, such works could not disappear just like that. In 1984, with the support of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Paris, the first retrospective exhibition of Bouguereau was organized. Most of the master's works were collected. Visitors, who were looking forward to touching the masterpieces of academicism, knew little about the artist himself. For those people who were not familiar with the painting of the Frenchman at all, what they saw was a real revelation. The show was successful. After that, Bouguereau's paintings were seen in Canada and the USA. Many of the canvases had to be restored, after all, almost a whole century had passed, and the places in which they were stored were far from being drawn to the gallery. But they returned, and their return was triumphant.

Today, the struggle for painting Bouguereau is not only between wealthy collectors, but also between the richest museums in the world. His paintings are inspiring. An example of this is the Givenchy fashion house. In 2013, brand designer Ricardo Tisci admitted that the work of the French artist inspired him to create an entire collection. Significantly altered fragments of "Pieta" and "Madonna of the Lilies" adorned some shirts, bombers and T-shirts.

On his return from Rome, for some time he painted frescoes in the style Italian Renaissance in the houses of the French bourgeoisie. Having collected the necessary capital, he finally devoted himself to his favorite business - academic painting. Bouguereau's career as an academic painter was quite successful, the artist enjoyed the recognition and favor of critics and exhibited his paintings in the annual Parisian salons for more than fifty years. At the exhibitions of the Paris Salon of 1878 and 1885 he was awarded the highest award- Gold medal as the best painter of the year in France.
The paintings of William-Adolf Bouguereau on historical, mythological, biblical and allegorical subjects were carefully composed and painstakingly written out, down to the smallest detail.

Bouguereau also painted murals and portraits. Bouguereau opposed the exhibition of the Impressionists' work in the Parisian salons, considering their paintings simply unfinished sketches.
After his death and a period of oblivion of his work, Bouguereau's work was appreciated. contemporary critics, as a significant contribution to the development of the genre of academic painting. A major retrospective exhibition of Bouguereau's work opened in Paris in 1984 and has since been shown in Montreal, Hartford and New York.
William Adolphe Bouguereau died on August 19, 1905 in his hometown of La Rochelle.

During his life Bouguereau painted 826 paintings. The most famous of them are "The Birth of Venus", "Dante and Virgil in Hell", "Girl Knitting", "Shepherdess", "Dance", etc.
Born in 1825 in La Rochelle in a family of wine and olive merchants. He seemed destined to continue the family business, but thanks to his uncle Eugene, a priest who taught him classical biblical stories Bouguereau went to high school. There he immediately discovered his artistic talent. His father was persuaded to send his son to the school of fine arts in Bordeaux. There Bouguereau was awarded the first prize for the image of St. Roch. To earn money, he created labels for jams and preserves.

He studied at the Paris School of Fine Arts, in 1850 he was awarded the Rome Prize for the painting "Zenobia found on the banks of the Araxes." His paintings on mythological subjects and genre works in the style of realism were very popular in France XIX century. At that time, he was even considered one of the greatest masters of painting in the world. In 1900, Edgar Degas and Claude Monet allegedly said that in 2000 Bouguereau would be called the greatest French artist XIX century. His paintings, despite high prices, were snapped up briskly, especially by wealthy Americans.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the popularity of William Bouguereau quickly waned - partly because of his sharp rejection of impressionism, partly because of the increased interest in modernism. Now interest in the artist's work is growing again. Among the pupils of Bouguereau's studio, in particular, Henri Matisse, Othon Fries, Edmund Tull, Gustave Jaquet, Paul Chabas.

November 30 celebrates 191 years since the birth of one of my favorite artists Adolphe William Bouguereau (Bouguereau)

Amazing artist!
His style of criticism is defined as romantic realism - as a romantic, he showed passions, a stopped moment of emotions and feelings, and as a realist, he painted from nature and reproduced the appearance of his models from photographic accuracy.


Adolphe William Bouguereau was born on November 30, 1825 in France, the second of eight children. The father of the future artist was an entrepreneur, but things were not going well for him, and therefore the parents were forced to give their children to the care of relatives. Took custody of young William younger brother his father, Eugene Bouguereau, a young priest of 27 years old. It was the uncle who did the most for the growing artist: he instilled in him a love for literature, instilled sincere faith and, most importantly, supported his nephew's artistic endeavors.


Portrait of Eugene Bouguereau.
When William was 17 years old, his father took his son to him, in the hope that the offspring would follow in his footsteps and become engaged in trade and commerce. But the young Bouguereau flatly refused - he did not see himself as anyone but an artist. Through quarrels and disputes, a compromise was found - in the morning and in the evening, William Bouguereau studied at the School of Fine Arts of Bordeaux, and spent the day at work in his father's shop.
Most likely, Theodor Bouguereau, the artist's father, wanted to force his son to change his mind in this way. But you can't hide talent. In 1844, at the age of 19, Adolphe William Bouguereau wins first prize for historical picture, bypassing the students, who, unlike the bound obligations to Father Bouguereau, attended classes in full.

(she tried to find this painting, for which he received a prize - but apart from the fact that Saint Roch was depicted on it, she did not find out anything ... sadness)

The success of his father's son did not make him happy - the young Bouguereau, realizing that he was capable of art, rushed to Paris, and Bouguereau Sr., realizing that the obstinate offspring was fleeing from his parental wing, firmly declared - no money, no Paris. Karoch, sit in Bordeaux on the priest evenly and trade!

To earn at least a little, Bouguereau created labels for jams and preserves. But Paris was still not enough. Then Uncle Eugene came to the aid of his sad nephew. He quickly brought clients to the novice artist and William Bouguereau painted portraits for a small fee, and then, having saved up 900 francs, he quickly left for Paris.

In Paris, Bouguereau developed his art, studying at the School of Fine Arts, survived as best he could, received prizes and awards, and in general, he was probably very happy - his favorite thing warmed the young man's soul. And I must say, Bouguereau was very confident in himself - having come to the School, he immediately began to send his work for the Rome Prize - 4000 francs and a business trip to Rome were a prize.
Luck smiled on Bouguereau in 1850.

I will not spray, who is Zenobia, read it yourself))
I can only say that the most amazing thing in this picture is the transmitted movement. Bouguereau was an expert in anatomy. Particularly noteworthy is the naked young man, whom Bouguereau showed at the moment when he raised himself on his hands to climb the wall.
SHEDEEVER!!!

In Italy, William Bouguereau studied paintings Italian artists Middle Ages and Renaissance. One of the paintings that Bouguereau sent to Paris from Italy was Dante and Virgil in Hell.

Bouguereau here showed unthinkable expression and naturalism - so that the viewer does not doubt the reality of those cruel forces that reign in Hell. But Paris did not appreciate Bouguereau's efforts, and Bouguereau did not return to the theme of fear and horror, at least on such a scale that in this picture, Bouguereau did not return.
Upon his return from Italy, William Bouguereau marries Marie-Nelli Monchablo. She bore him five children. From this moment on, the theme of motherhood, children, brothers and sisters, relations between family members becomes - not only the main one, but one of the main ones.

Young mother watching her sleeping baby

William Bouguereau was a real workaholic - creativity was for him both relaxation and the most demanding work. Eternal dissatisfaction with himself and a manic thirst to improve his skills have secured him the nickname "Sisyphus of the 19th century."
In 1864, Bouguereau turns to a new genre for himself - nude - and presents his first work: "The Bather".

But white stripe From admirers and successes at exhibitions, a black streak changes in his personal life: in 1866, his daughter Jane passes away. In 1875, due to illness, the eldest son of Bouguereau, Georges, died. The boy was only 16 years old. In the spring of 1877, after a difficult birth, the artist's 40-year-old wife, Nelly, died, followed by her unborn son Maurice. Depression and grief pushed the artist to religious themes. This is how one of Bouguereau's most penetrating paintings, Pieta, is born.

Pieta

Another painting on a religious theme is the Beating of Christ. It was from this picture that my acquaintance with Bouguereau began. I can't bring it here.

In December 1877, Bouguereau met the American Elizabeth Jane Gardner, who became his first student and lover. Marriage was opposed eldest daughter artist Henrietta and his mother, but William and Elizabeth secretly married in May 1879. Officially, they were able to announce their marriage only in 1896.


Mademoiselle Elizabeth Gardner.

Elisabeth helped her brilliant husband in his work and was the only one who painted in the style of Bouguereau. William seemed to have finally found the long-awaited peace of mind, but, unfortunately, fate was cruel. The last son died of tuberculosis. He became the fourth dead child in the family.
William Bouguereau outlived almost all of his children. Experienced sorrows and accumulated fatigue began to make themselves felt. The artist began to age rapidly. In 1905, William Bouguereau, as if sensing the approach of the end, returned to native city La Rochelle, where he dies on August 19 at the age of 79.


Equality before death. 1848

A new age has come. Henri Matisse, one of Bouguereau's students, and other young artists rejected academism with its calibrated beauty, and the modern era came.
Bouguereau was forgotten. Many of his canvases, which even during the life of the artist were criticized for excessive eroticism and nudity, gathered dust in warehouses, attics and closed living rooms of collectors.
There were two world wars, and in 1984 Bouguereau's canvases waited for their finest hour. - the first retrospective exhibition of Bouguereau was organized in Paris. Most of the master's works were collected (there were 862 in total during the life of the master).
For many, this exhibition was a revelation. long gone lovely women, direct children and driven by the wind and passions, mythological satyrs and nymphs were presented to the audience of the twentieth century.
Bouguereau returned and his return was triumphant.
