La nymphee

The French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau painted the masterpiece entitled La nymphee, also known as The Nymphaeum, in 1878. The painter built a reputation in Europe and even in America for his captivating artworks of female nudes – both critics and the audience praised him for this style of painting. Nude or not, Bouguereau portrayed numerous women in his artwork, from shepherdesses, peasant women, to goddesses, nymphs, and madonnas, all idealized and classically depicted.

Like many of Bouguereau’s most well-known works, La nymphee was concluded with the intention of showing the work in an exhibition. During the same year it was painted, is was shown at the Universal Exposition in Paris, with a total of paintings, including La nymphee. Each piece working with different motifs like portraits, religious paintings, allegorical, among others. Because of his astounding show of versatility, Bouguereau won the medal of honor for his work.

Bouguereau’s artwork was always featured in the yearly Paris Salon, one of the most prestigious honors for an artist of the time. The acknowledgment of the Paris Salon was a great opportunity for any artist to build a successful career – but there had to be a certain commitment to the standards of the Classic Academy, like a high technical standard based on the ancient Greeks, as well as religious or mythological themes. Bouguereau’s love for the past masters of the Renaissance, especially the work of Raphael, lead him into creating breathtaking artworks.

In La nymphee, the artist portrays a scene of idealized, but inaccessible, sensuality. Thirteen voluptuous and nude nymphs bath in a natural oasis. All of the female figures seem to be the same woman, showing that the artist was not interested in portraying reality as he saw it, but the ideal world he wished to create. Bouguereau went against the avant-guard painters of the Impressionism, and many other artists who worked with a naturalist approach, for his art was not true to life itself. In the forefront of La nymphee, a woman lays stomach facing down on the green grass, while other two women get out of the pond on the left side of the canvas. Two girls sway in a swing, while another woman inside the water pulls on them. The composition of this work was meticulously done to create a harmonious scene. In the background, seven women pose on the distant rocks under the shade.

Each painting is custom made and won't ship until it meets the highest degree of quality control
Experienced Artists

All our artists have at least 15 years of experience. We only hire qualified artists with advanced degrees in Fine Arts who have completed a dissertation in European or American art.

Highest Quality Materials

We only use the highest quality oil paint and finest available canvas. We insist on sourcing our materials from brands that have been in business for at least a century or more.

Our most senior artists, those who have at least 25 years experience, carefully examine each and every painting that comes out of our studio. No order is shipped before it meets our standards, which are the highest in the industry.

Some companies claim to be selling handmade paintings when in fact they use printing presses and screening methods to speed-up the reproduction process and lower costs. We've been selling genuine handmade online since 2003!

Finest quality stretching, gallery wrap or framing

Purchasing without a frame
(unstreched canvas)

When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.

Purchasing a frame

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.

Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.

purchasing-img
Purchasing a Stretching Service

If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.

Purchasing a Gallery Wrap

If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.

Door to door fully insured courier delivery

All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
