Pieta by William-Adolphe Bouguereau Canvas Print
Pieta by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1876, is a large oil on canvas painting of the Virgin Mary cradling the dead Christ in her arms, surrounded by a host of weeping angels. The dark, sombre tones and smooth, painstaking academic technique produce a powerful religious image of lamentation and remorse. Bouguereau adds the archaic forms of the flattened, gold leaf halos on the heads of Jesus and Mary, as well as the classical urn in the foreground, connecting his powerful Pietà to its predecessor works of art from the Byzantine, Mediaeval and Renaissance eras.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) was a French painter who trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and the Villa Medici in Rome. He exhibited with great success in the French Salon and became one of most renowned and wealthy artists of his era. Bouguereau worked in the French Academic tradition, a school of late 19th century modern painters who concentrated on the human figure and classical subjects in highly polished works of optical realism. His main interest was the female figure, usually rendered in quasi-classical, finely drawn contours, in subjects that were often sentimental. Bouguereau's reputation diminished greatly in the 20th century with the rise of Modernism, but interest in his traditional figurative paintings has surged again in recent years.

Very impressive product! The canvas is sturdily made. It features a saw tooth hanger on the back, making it easy to "try out" the canvas in several rooms until I found the best location. It attracts good comments from my friends. I love it! The printing is wonderful! Colors are as bright and crisp as they appeared on the website.

I needed an odd size piece of art to cover an ugly electric box panel in my newly finished basement. This piece fit the bill exactly. I've always loved Alphonse Mucha's art and this product was the exact size and style I was looking for. The art is vivid and looks great in my new bathroom. The printing was much better than I was expecting. The image is crisp and clear and the colors are amazing.

I ordered this as a sample, to test the quality for my shop. I like it very much. The photo print turned out nicely, love the substantial 1.5" wrap-effect for this piece. I can sell this artwork with confidence. Excellent color and clarity of the photo print.
