Description
William Adolphe Bouguereau: Le crepuscule (Twilight) (Evening Mood) (1882)
The artwork Le crepuscule is one of the artist’s many portrayals of an idealized and majestic female nude. On a long, vertical canvas, Bouguereau depicted a Goddess of the sea with porcelain-like skin. The artist’s vast knowledge of anatomy allowed him to produce images of the human figure in a variety of poses, and he beautifully captured the delicate features of the female body. In this painting, the model is alone, wrapped in a dark piece of thin fabric and floating over the ocean. One of her hands lays on her shoulder while touching her face. By turning her head towards her shoulders, the artist was able to give a beautiful flow from the back of her neck, down to her arm, which is accompanied by the shape of the fabric.
