Aurora

The painting depicts a woman in a pose reminiscent of a Greek nymph or goddess. She is naked, with one hand in front of her breasts and the other raised above her head, holding a light veil that flutters in the air. She stands bare-footed in shallow water with plants in the background, looking into the distance. The lighting and colours are soft and romantic, adding to the impression of carefree beauty.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). French academic painter. In his choice of topics, he was a traditionalist: he painted mythological scenes and modern interpretations of Classicist themes (with an emphasis on painting the female body). Bouguereau admired Raphael, and even gave him one of his paintings. In his time, he was considered one of the finest painters, even abroad. At the end of his career, his paintings began to seem too traditionalist, with techniques embedded in the past. In some encyclopaedias, his name even ceased to appear. To date, however, we can consider some of his works beautiful and inspiring.
