Working primarily in oil, Bouguereau constructs scenes through academic realism, focusing heavily on the female human body. This structural choice, reminiscent of Renaissance artists, provides a sense of depth and order to his mythological themes and realistic genre paintings. The height of the nineteenth century finds him as the quintessential salon painter, a figure of immense popularity in France and the United States.
