About Idyll: Antique Family (Idylle: Famille Antique) WilliamAdolphe Bouguereau Realism Paintings
At the time that Bouguereau painted Idylle: famille antique he was a rising star on the Paris art scene. After studying with the esteemed French Academic master François Picot, Bouguereau gained admittance to the hallowed halls of Paris' École des Beaux-Arts. In 1849, he exhibited for the first time in the Paris Salon and the following year won the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome. During his time in Italy, Bouguereau traveled extensively, studying the Renaissance masters who inspired his early fascination with classical antiquity, as demonstrated by the present painting. Bouguereau maintained complete artistic freedom in Idylle: famille antique, transforming a classically-inspired painting into a poignant familial portrait. A young mother sits on the ground, looking up adoringly at her young child. With a hint of a smile, Bouguereau's strapping father holds his son who reaches out to embrace him with outstretched arms. In an idyllic setting framed by a canopy of vines, this affectionate group of figures exudes a tenderness that would come to define Bouguereau's mature work. Adding a note of playfulness to the scene, Bouguereau includes a goat that seems to want to join this loving family as it rises up on its hind legs, its head almost touching the child's.
