William Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) French, Academic
"Each day I go to my
studio full of joy; in
the evening when obliged
to stop because of
darkness I can scarcely
wait for the morning to
come...My work is not
only a pleasure, it has
become a necessity. No
matter how many other
things I have in my
life, if I cannot give
myself to my dear
painting I am miserable."
- William Bouguereau
