| One of the first American women artists to break the female barrier at the Academie Julian in Paris, Elizabeth Bouguereau is credited with opening the French ateliers to females. She was also the first American woman to exhibit and also to win a medal at the Paris Salon. Ironically she spent most of her career painting in the style of her husband and mentor, French academician William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). She also stopped painting during her married years, 1896 to 1905, but after that (showing 500 of 2425 characters). |
