Talk:William-Adolphe Bouguereau

message: But after 1920, Bouguereau fell into disrepute, due in part to changing tastes and partly to his staunch opposition to the Impressionists who were finally gaining acceptance. For decades following, his name was not even mentioned in encyclopedias.

message: I rm'ed the lines about the Art Renewal Center and moved link down to "See also".  The number of links and un-refed or poorly refed mentions reads like spam and may simply be WP:UNDUE. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 16:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Art Renewal Center]]

message: I've never met a Frenchman who would pronounce William like a kraut (i.e. "Villiam") as stated here.  Looks pretty amateurish anyway.  Fix it or delete it.  70.53.108.40 (talk) 12:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: I'm not an art geek; I just ran across some of his paintings on the Interweb, so I made an article request here:
:Charles-Amable Lenoir (lived 1860–1926, article requested 2009-11-02) French painter, student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau. See bio, Google Search, Google Image Search. Also, some of his paintings should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (he died in 1926, 1926+70=1996, so the images should be public domain, right?).

thread_title:  Anyone want to create an article on Bouguereau's pupil? 

message: From the catalog accompanying the 1984 Bouguereau exhibition (Paris, Montreal, Hartford), from the Biography by Mark Steven Walker:
"The second of four children, William Bouguereau was born on 30 November 1825 et (sic) 4.00 p.m. in the rue du Duc in La Rochelle.  The name recorded on the birth certificate is Adolphe William Bouguereau; the boy and the man would always be called William."

thread_title:  His name 

message: His first major painting, egakite devant mort should be included  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.128.217 (talk) 10:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what the standard quality of these pictures are supposed to be? I looked it up on Google, but it seems the ones shown are a little lacking of quality. Tried looking for both "Equality after death" and "Egalite devant la mort". It also seems I don't know how to upload pictures, so. 153.18.98.50 (talk) 01:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Egalitte 

message: I'm planning to reduce the gallery which, as noted above by Ty, is rather indiscriminate. If the goal is to include every work, it should be spun off into a separate List of paintings by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. In the context of this article, however, a representative selection that does not dwarf the text seems best. Comments welcomed. Ewulp (talk) 02:41, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gallery again 

message: I get nothing out of the French IPA thingy. How on Earth is that name pronounced? In conversations about him with people who aren't interested in art, I end up stumbling completely at the name, which only gets me a bunch of confused looks. Sort it out, editors. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:52, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You probably lost interest long ago, but an approximate transliteration of his name would be BOO (guh) ROW: two more-or-less equal syllables with a schwa between them. Hope this helps. Awien (talk) 22:35, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

:Hello . It works okay for me so it may have something to do with Chrome. This page is not on very many active editor watchlists so it would be a good idea if you posted this question at the Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). MarnetteD|Talk 16:24, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

message: "At the age of 12, Bouguereau went to Mortagne to stay with his uncle Eugène, a priest.."
Given that the family appears to have lived in the Charente-Maritime department, I suppose the commune in question is Mortagne-sur-Gironde, but if anyone has the facilities to check this, that'd be great. Harfarhs (talk) 04:33, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

message: Why is there a link to Kamal-ol-molk in the See Also section?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpkilla (talk • contribs) 00:18, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question . The info in the two articles doesn't really suggest a connection as far as I can see. OTOH there is a faint whiff of some similarities in their style. That is best represented in this painting by K. I would suggest waiting for a few days to see if any other editors respond to your post. If they don't then you should feel free to remove the link from the see also section. MarnetteD|Talk 00:39, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
