A beautiful copy of the painting "Evening Mood" by artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905), created in 2007 by Vladimir Nikolayevich Kirillov (1980, Moscow), who works in an academic style. The artist intentionally rejects the context of contemporary art and focuses on eternal beauty.

"Evening Mood"
Artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) National Museum of Art, Havana.
French painter and a prominent representative of French academicism in the second half of the 19th century.

The features of William Bouguereau's work include technically flawless realism in his representations and a sentimental interpretation of themes. Bouguereau preferred modern figurative portrayals of mythological subjects, emphasizing the depiction of the human (often nude) body. He regularly exhibited at the Salons and, for a time, was regarded as the most famous master of the brush in all of France, as well as in England and the USA. A supporter of academicism, he rejected new artistic movements, including Impressionism, and regularly obstructed the display of works from the latest styles at the Salon. As a follower of the Pre-Raphaelites, Bouguereau adorned several Parisian churches with religious compositions in this style. From 1875, he taught at the Académie Julian.
