You Tube has violated its own code of conduct by making this video be age-restricted . Even though it includes nudes, they are fine art nudes hung in museums around the world. Fine Arts is one of YouTube's exceptions for nudity. The second exception is for educational material. This is the only way you will be able to see Bouguereau's paintings in chronological order, showing how his art style developed over the years. So fine arts and educational. Meaning YouTube violated their own code of conduct by age-restricting this video. Appeals went nowhere, so I'm guessing they were automated since no logical conversation ensued.

*************
The art of William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) from 1848-1884. Bouguereau was the epitome of a French academy painter. Classically trained and meticulous in his work, he won awards and commanded high prices for his art. He painted over 600 paintings, which appear in museums around the world. THIS type of art is what the Impressionists were rebelling against. Thomas Campion's poem, "The Peaceful Western Wind" is sung by Shannon Mercer.
My earliest love of art came from a book owned by my grandmother and mother of Academy painters, including Bouguereau - Vicars, 1902.

Vicars says of Bouguereau:
"The greatest modern master of figure painting, at least in the academic sense, William Adolphe Bouguereau, was born at La Rochelle, in the Gironde, in 1825. When he was seventeen years old, he had saved enough out of his earnings to carry him to Paris and support him there for a year. On this capital he became a pupil of Picot, and in 1843 entered as a student into the Ecole des Beaux Arts, until in 1850 he won the great prize scholarship known as the Prix de Rome, which entitled him to study four years in Italy at the expense of the Government. He became an Officer of the Legion of Honor. He was elected a member of the Institute. He was made honorary member of all the great art academies of Europe. He was loaded with medals, until they formed a unique collection in themselves. "
