| IPTC INFO | | Caption | An early reviewer stated “M. Bouguereau has a natural instinct and knowledge of contour. The eurythmie of the human body preoccupies him and in recalling the happy results which in this genre the ancients and the artists of the sixteenth century arrived at one can only congratulate M. Bouguereau in attempting to follow in their footsteps…Raphael was inspired by the ancients…and no one accused him of not being original.” _________ Raphael was a favorite of Bouguereau and he took this review as a high compliment. He had fulfilled one of the requirements of the Prix de Rome by completing a old-master copy of Raphael’s The Triumph of Galatea. In many of his works he followed the same classical approach to composition form and subject matter. ___________ Fronia E.
