Auguste Toulmouche (1829 - 1890) French Academic Painter
Today, I wanted to review the artwork of the French painter, Auguste Toulmouche. He mostly did portraits of Parisian ladies. He gave a lot of emphasis to their dresses. He painted in the style of realism. However, unlike realistic the artists, he did not care about changing society. He kept the painting style, but through the socialism out the window.

The painting is about upper middle class leisure. The maiden is so...

Myth Paintings by William Adolphe Bouguereau

She had tried running away from the Romans. She nearly drowned in the river side. Here, the shepherds are taking care of her. It is interesting the differences in attires between the Queen and the shepherds. In this painting, we see a maiden...
