Art of the Human Spirit & Soul

A collection of artist images of beautifully protrayed human anatomy, capturing not only the personality and mood, but the spirit and soul of the subjects.

To begin, featured is the work of artist William Adolphe Bouguereau, 1825-1905.

William Adolphe Bouguereau is unquestionably one of history's greatest artistic geniuses. Yet in the past century, his reputation and unparalleled accomplishments have undergone a libelous, dishonest, relentless and systematic assault of immense proportions. His name was stricken from most history texts and when included it was only to blindly, degrade and disparage him and his work.

He wasn’t just the best ever at painting human anatomy, more importantly he captured the tender and subtlest nuances of personality and mood. Bouguereau caught the very souls and spirits of his subjects much like Rembrandt. Rembrandt is said to have captured the soul of age. Bouguereau captured the soul of youth.

His work is breathtaking, especially the pieces rated "R" (due to nudity, no matter how minimal or that it's artistic in nature). To view them, one must be logged in to view "R" rated materials in Zazzle.

Bouguereau was a very religious man, of the Christianity faith. I find it ironic that the best images of Christianity are also rated "R" by the puritan society of America..

If there is any image in this gallery that is desired on greeting cards, postage, apparel, etc., please don't hesitate to contact with the request. It will be accommodated right away.
