"A Childhood Idyll" by William Adolphe Bouguereau is a famous painting by the artist. An idyll is a poem, prose piece, or event depicting a rural and tranquil scene, usually in idealized terms. The girls in this painting are images of idyllic innocence. Bouguereau probably created this painting during one of his frequent trips to La Rochelle, modelling it after local peasant children.


Childhood Idyll reflects the classicism of academic painting in the late 1800s, which referred back to the art of ancient Greece and Rome. Bouguereau made his paintings look timeless: instead of portraying the girls in the latest fashions, he paints them wearing peasant-type clothing that could belong to several different centuries. Bouguereau’s painting process was long and painstaking; this painting is the result of months of dedicated research, sketching, and careful planning.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 –1905) was a French academic painter. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body.   During his life, he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work.

Tallenge Store was the first website I found where I could find art within my budget that I absolutely love. I just got my very own apartment so it was important to me to find art that suited me and I couldn’t be happier!
I got the painting this weekend – it is absolutely awesome. It’s hanging in my office, where I spend a huge amount of time and so it’s well placed. It is bright and happy.
