Posted on March 13, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment
William Bouguerau was born in 1925 and died in 1905 at La Rochelle. Throughout his life, he is regarded by many as the most influential supporter of traditional French Values in Art. The important values to the French included, accuracy and preciseness to perspective and finish. The finished artwork was to resemble exactly the model being presented. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Ars from 1843 to 1850 and then in Rome.
