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. His work was greatly praised by Emile Zola. He was knighted in the Legion of Honor for his artwork. The first painting shows a cute maiden doing nothing. The painting is about upper middle class leisure. The maiden is so...

Genre Paintings by William Adolphe Bouguereau
The first painting focuses on a poor girl. Whenever rich people used to sow the fields, the leftovers was given to the poor. Here, we see a poor girl carrying whatever she could. The maiden herself is very pretty. It is a pity that she was born poor. In this painting, we see an updated version of the good shepherd. This time we see "The Shepherdess". She is gracefully taking care of the baby of her sheep. The way she carries it has a graceful quality about it. Overall, she kinda embodies a rustic, modern version of the Virgin Mary. ...
