Academic Classicist William Bouguereau was a favorite of the Paris Salon, but intellectual waves turned against his style, resulting in his name’s removal from textbooks as early as WWI. Bouguereau’s work, considered trivial for decades, has lately enjoyed a significant resurgence. Here the artist envisions the birth of the goddess Venus from the sea. This is a gorgeous Mixed-Media painting from Art Chateau and perfect for interior design projects and the iconic Century at 25 Central Park West in New York City.
