I tend to like Bouguereau.

Splendid and much-maligned painter.

Perhaps his beggars and peasants are a little too clean . . . but they're beautiful. Perhaps members of the middle class in fancy dress? Or maybe they bathed before sitting to the artist?

Anyway, his technical facility is astounding. The foreshortening of the sleeping boy is perfect.

Now, that's art.
