Brog's figure paintings are exquisitely conceived and delicately brushstrokes. The overall picture makes the viewer very comfortable, and the human body lines are beautiful, which fully reflects the neoclassical painting style. The "Youth" picture places the goddess in the middle of the whole painting, two little angels around her, and the color matching background dark brown sets off the white dress, highlighting the character image.
Return of the Garden, 1898
The Girl Who Picked the Grapes, 1889
In the later period, Bouguereau actively participated in social activities, went deep into the bottom of society, and witnessed a large number of scenes of hardships and labor of civilian life. Therefore, the pictures he created appeared more peasant women, shepherd women, beggars, wanderers and other characters.
Bouguereau has pursued aesthetic artistic creation all his life, insisted on constantly exploring the true and beautiful painting style, and has been constantly creating all his life, and is a very prolific painter. His paintings are loved by people and are well known in Europe!
