WILLIAM (1825-1905) , See also:French painter, was See also:born at La Rochelle on the 3oth of See also:November 1825. From 1843 till 1850 he went through the course of training at the Ecole See also:des See also:Beaux-Arts, and in 185o divided the See also:Grand Prix de See also:Rome scholarship with See also:Baudry, the subject set being " See also:Zenobia on the See also:banks of the Araxes." On his return from Rome in 1855 he was employed in decorating several aristocratic residences, deriving See also:inspiration from the frescoes which he. had seen at See also:Pompeii and See also:Herculaneum, and which had already suggested his " Idyll " (1853). He also began in 1847 to exhibit regularly at the See also:Salon. " The See also:Martyr's See also:Triumph," the See also:body of St See also:Cecilia See also:borne to the catacombs, was placed in the Luxembourg after being exhibited at the See also:Paris See also:Exhibition of 1855; and in the same
See also:year he exhibited " Fraternal Love," a " Portrait " and a " Study." The See also:state subsequently commissioned him to paint the See also:emperor's visit to the sufferers by the inundations at See also:Tarascon. In 1857 Bouguereau received a first See also:prize See also:medal. Nine of his panels executed in See also:wax-See also:painting for the See also:mansion of M. Bartholomy were much discussed—" Love," " Friendship," " See also:Fortune," " See also:Spring," " Summer," " Dancing," " See also:Arion on a See also:Sea-See also:horse," a " Bacchante " and the " Four Divisions of the See also:Day." He also exhibited at the Salon " The Return of See also:Tobit
(now in the See also:Dijon See also:gallery). While in See also:antique subjects he showed much See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace of See also:design, in his " See also:Napoleon," a See also:work of evident labour, he betrayed a lack of ease in the treatment of See also:modern See also:costume. Bouguereau subsequently exhibited " Love Wounded " (18J9), " The Day of the Dead " (at See also:Bordeaux), " The First Discord " (1861, in the See also:Club at See also:Limoges), " The Return from the See also:Fields " (a picture in which See also:Theophile See also:Gau tier recognized " a pure feeling for the antique "), " A Fawn and Bacchante " and " See also:Peace "; in 1863 a " See also:Holy See also:Family," " Remorse," " A Bacchante teasing a See also:Goat " (in the Bordeaux gallery); in 1864 " A Bather " (at See also:Ghent), and " See also:Sleep "; in 1865 " An Indigent Family," and a portrait of Mme Bartholomy; in 1866 " A First Cause," and " Covetousness," with " Philomela and Procne "; and some decorative work for M. Montlun at La Rochelle, for M. Emile Pereire in Paris, and for the churches of St Clotilde and St Augustin; and in 1866 the large painting of " See also:Apollo and the See also:Muses on See also:Olympus," in the See also:Great See also:Theatre at Bordeaux. Among other See also:works by this artist may be mentioned
" Between Love and Riches " (1869), " A Girl Bathing " (1870),
" In See also:Harvest See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

Time " (1872), " See also:Nymphs and See also:Satyrs " (1873),
" Charity " and " See also:Homer and his See also:Guide " (1874), " Virgin and See also:Child," " Jesus and See also:John the Baptist," " Return of Spring " (which was See also:purchased by an See also:American See also:collector, and was destroyed by a fanatic who objected to the nudity), a " Pieta " (1876), " A Girl defending herself from Love " (188o), " See also:Night " (1883), " The Youth of Bacchus " (1884), " Biblis " (1885), " Love Disarmed " (1886), " Love Victorious " (1887), " The Holy See also:Women at the See also:Sepulchre " and " The Little See also:Beggar Girls" (189o), " Love in a Shower " and " First Jewels " (1891).
To the Exhibition of 1900 were contributed some of Bouguereau's best-known pictures. Most of his works, especially "The Triumph of See also:Venus " (1856) and " Charity," are popularly known through engravings. " See also:Prayer," " The Invocation " and " See also:Sappho " have been engraved by M. Thirion, " The See also:Golden See also:Age " by M. Annetombe. Bouguereau's pictures, highly appreciated by the See also:general public, have been severely criticized by the partisans of a freer and fresher See also:style of See also:art, who have reproached him with being too content to revive the formulas and subjects of the antique. At the Paris Exhibition of 1867 Bouguereau took a third-class medal, in 1878 a medal of See also:honour, and the same again in the Salon of 1885. He was chosen by the Society of French Artists to be their See also:vice-See also:president, a See also:post he filled with much See also:energy. He was made a member of the See also:Legion of Honour in 180, an officer of the See also:- ORDER
