William-Adolphe Bouguereau - French Illusionist genre painter who often used mythological characters as subjects for his life-sized paintings. I saw his painting Young Priestess at the Memorial Art Gallery last week. I am puzzled. Why has such a talented and prolific painter faded into obscurity? Gardner’s Art Through the Ages devotes but one very small paragraph to his painting Nymphs and Satyr.
