La Perle
La Perle c1894 by French Painter William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 – 1905); de na h-amannan Neo-Chlasaigeach agus Acadaimigeach, a chruthaich mìneachaidhean ùr-nodha de chuspairean clasaigeach stèidhichte air cuspairean miotasach.
This painting is an allegory of the pearl in which an alluring young woman is kneeling in the center of a giant oyster shell that is on the edge of a beach, with her left knee planted firmly on the base of the shell and right knee bent slightly over her left they thigh as her right foot supports her.
She is partially covering her breast with right hand over her left, as light streams in from her left illuminating the majority of her lower body and part of her upper body, keeping most of her face and torso in shadow; as ocean waves smash against the oyster shell, bring white water up along her back and over it’s base; and giving us a partial view of the rich blue seas from beyond on her left.
To her right we see a massive pearl resting on the base of the oyster shell, while at the front of the base of the shell resting on the beach we see a large sea snail (Kingdom: Animalia >>> Phylum: Mollusca >>> Class: Gastropoda >>> Subclass: Caenogastropoda).

Rugadh Uilleam-Adolphe Bouguereau ann an La Rochelle, An Fhraing, air 30 An t-Samhain 1825, steach do theaghlach ceannaichean fìona agus ola-ola. Mac phàrantan Caitligeach Théodore Bouguereau b1800 agus Marie Bonnin b1804, ris an canar Adeline.
Bha bràthair bu shine aige, Alfred, agus piuthar nas òige, Marie (ris an canar Hanna), a chaochail aig aois seachd bliadhna. Ghluais an teaghlach gu Saint-Martin-de-Ré ann an 1832. Rugadh bràthair no piuthar eile a-steach 1834, Kitty.
Aig aois 12, Chaidh Bouguereau gu Mortagne gus fuireach còmhla ri bràthair athar Eugène, sagart agus leasaich e gaol nàdair, creideamh agus litreachas. Ann an 1839, chaidh a chur a dh'ionnsachadh airson na sagartachd ann an colaiste Chaitligeach ann am Pons.
Aig a' Cholaiste Chaitligeach bha Louis Sage ag ionnsachadh tarraing agus peantadh, a bha air ionnsachadh fo Ingres. Dh'fhàg Bouguereau a chuid ionnsachaidh gu deònach gus tilleadh gu theaghlach, a-nis a’ fuireach ann am Bordeaux. Fhad 'sa bha e ann am Bordeaux san t-Samhain 1841 choinnich e ri neach-ealain ionadail, Teàrlach Marionneau, agus lean e air le sgrùdaidhean ealain aig Sgoil Dealbhaidh is Peantadh a’ Bhaile.
Bha Bouguereau cuideachd ag obair mar neach-taic bùtha, hand-coloring lithographs and making small paintings that were reproduced using chromolithography. Cha b ’fhada gus an robh e na sgoilear as fheàrr sa chlas aige, agus chuir e roimhe a bhith na neach-ealain ann am Paris. Gus an gluasad a mhaoineachadh, reic e 33 dealbhan dealbhan ola gun ainm ann an trì mìosan; agus leis an airgead a chaidh a chosnadh, ràinig Paris aig aois 20 sa Mhàrt 1846.
Às deidh dha Paris a ruighinn thàinig Bouguereau gu bhith na oileanach aig an École des Beaux-Arts; agus gus cur ris an trèanadh foirmeil aige ann an tarraing, fhritheil e dissections anatomical agus rinn e sgrùdadh air èideadh eachdraidheil agus arc-eòlas. Ann an 1848 chruthaich e Co-ionannachd Ro Bhàs (Co-ionannachd Ro bhàs), his first major painting.
Nas fhaide air adhart fhuair e dreuchd ann an stiùidio François-Édouard Picot, far an do rinn e sgrùdadh air peantadh ann an stoidhle acadaimigeach; a’ dèanamh Dante agus Virgil ann an Ifrinn c1850, which is an early example of his Neo-Classical artwork.
Rè a bheatha, bha fèill mhòr air Bouguereau anns an Fhraing agus na Stàitean Aonaichte, agus chaidh grunn urraman oifigeil a thoirt dha, agus e a’ faighinn tlachd bho bhith a’ faighinn a’ phrìs as àirde airson an obair-ealain aige. Mar pheantair salon iongantach a ghinealach, bha e air a mhaslachadh leis an avant-garde Impressionist.
Air feadh a bheatha, Bouguereau air a chur gu bàs 822 dealbhan crìochnaichte aithnichte, ged nach eil fios fhathast càite a bheil mòran.
