William A. Bouguereau is loved by all who enjoy 19th-century French Academic art, and hated by many who don’t. I have always been impressed by his ability to capture the human form so perfectly, and have had the pleasure of buying and selling a few outstanding works during my career.
If you are a fan, this is definitely a show you do not want to miss; and if you are not a fan, maybe you should have a look anyway … you never know.
