I was chatting about modern culture with William-Adolphe Bouguereau last week on the bus and I suggested to him that I may be able to adapt his masterpiece a little, so as it meant something to the modern day viewer. To my complete surprise he said "Go for your life mate"... So I went home and 'modernised' it a bit with some latter-day symbolism.
Cheers Bill :)
Mont Blanc du Tacul (4248 m) throws out a jagged ridge ending at the Pointe Adolphe Rey. The upper part of this ridge consists of a group of wonderful rocky pinnacles known as the Aiguilles du Diable. Two-thirds of the way along is the amazing granite tower of the Grand Capucin. Beyond the ridge is the crevassed surface of the Glacier du Geant and in the distance the Tour Ronde (3792 m) with it's head in the clouds.
Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville (Saint-Omer, May 31, 1835 – May 18, 1885) was a French Academic painter who studied under Eugene Delacroix. His dramatic and intensely patriotic subjects illustrated episodes from the Franco-Prussian War, the Crimean War, the Zulu War, and portraits of soldiers.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (La Rochelle 30 de noviembre de 1825 – 19 de agosto de 1905) fue un pintor académico francés. Entre las personalidades de la época que confesaron admiración por su obra cabe destacar el pianista y compositor romántico Chopin.
Estudiante en la Académie Julian en París, sus pinturas realistas y de temas mitológicos fueron exhibidas en las exposiciones anuales del Salón de París durante toda su carrera. Aunque sufriese la indiferencia de los críticos, quizá debido a su fuerte oposición al entonces triunfante impresionismo, actualmente hay una nueva revalorización de su trabajo.
Bouguerau estuvo casado con otra artista, Elizabeth Jane Gardner. Gracias a su influencia, muchas instituciones de arte francesas se abrieron por primera vez a las mujeres, incluyendo la Academia francesa de Bellas Artes.

Portrait du saxophoniste Diego Delporte, Diplômé du Conservatoire Royal de Liège, lauréat du concours Adolphe Sax de Dinant.
Portrait of saxophonist Diego Delporte, graduated from Royal Higher Conservatory for Music of Liège (Belgium) and prize-winner of the international music competition "Adolphe Sax" of Dinant (Belgium)
The cover of the August 1937 edition of Art & Industry magazine, prreviously Commercial Art, and with the then standard cover design. This copy is of interest in that it bears a rather fine poster stamp on the front cover. This shows it was purchased in the Brussels/Bruxelles/Brussel branch of W H S Smith, when they had an English Bookshop on the Boulevard Adolphe Max/Adolphe Maxlaan and that contained an English Tea Rooms no less. It opened in 1920 but quite what happened to all that in 1939/40 I wonder but oddly, not only does the building still stand, recognisable, but it is the city's branch of Waterstones, the british bookshop chain.
The back cover, with an advert for printing company Herbert Reiach of London, also has a poster stamp and one of equal interest. It is in French and is advertising the London & North Eastern Railway's night ferry services from Anvers/Antwerp to Harwich with onward connections to Scotland. It shows not only the LNER's agency in Antwerp/Anvers, Westcott & Co, one the Quai D'Herbouville, but also their address in Brussels/Bruxelles/Brussel at 41 Boulevard Adolphe Max where they also acted for the London Midland & Scottish Railway.

Notes: Adolphe Braun (1812-1877) was a French photographer whose studio, Braun et Cie., specialised in the development of landscape pictures and art historical images. In 1870 Braun et Cie published a set of 125 loose mounted photographs (using a carbon printing process) of the Sistine Chapel, taken by a team composed of Braun’s brother Charles, and Braun’s two sons, Henri and Gaston the year before. These images meticulously surveyed the frescoes decorating the walls and ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. At the time of their release they constituted the only existing photographic record of the chapel’s interior. These large photographs exemplify Braun’s technical abilities in successfully capturing the curved surface of the ceiling

1843 Marie Taglioni by André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri.
Ballerina Marie Taglioni was born on 23rd April 1804 in Stockholm, Sweden and died on 22nd April 1884 in Marseille, France.
Her debut took place in Vienna in 1822 dancing a ballet entitled "La Reception d’une jeune nymphe a la tour de Terpsichore" and choreographed by her father.
In 1827 she made her debut at the Paris Opéra performing in the ballet "The Sicilian".
In 1830 she made her London debut and in 1837 her Russian debut. She retired in 1847.
In 1832 her father created the ballet La Sylphide for her and it premièred on 12th March 1832 at the Salle Le Peletier of the Paris Opéra. For the first time en pointe was used artistically and not as a technical trick.
Adolphe Ladurner - Soldiers bivouacking in a village
A student of Horace Vernet, Ladurner became a court painter soon after his arrival in St Petersburg in 1830. His eye for the details of military life appealed strongly to Nicholas I who was a great enthusiast of Ladurner's minutely observed paintings of parades and manoeuvres. He opened a studio in the Winter Palace and the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1837 and is widely considered the most accomplished military artist of Nicholas' reign. His fascination with the minutae of military life extended to designing Russian uniforms for which he was awarded the Order of St Stanislaus.
The present work depicts officers of the St Petersburg Uhlan regiment in their distinctive gold and blue uniform. The quality of observation is exceptional, from the medals, epaulettes and weaponry to the beautiful gold seal on the box of the central figure. The soldiers' range of poses is typical and allows the artist to document every aspect of their uniforms, front, back and side-on. His use of light and shade is strong; without over-dramatising this peaceful scene with sharp chiaroscuro, a nuanced use of shadow and highlights brings the composition to life. The plain-clothed villagers in the left of the composition provide a wonderful contrast to the bivouacking soldiers, particularly the golden-haired boy in a simple white tunic who recalls the Romanticised peasants of his contemporary Grigory Soroka (1823-1864) and the Venetsianov school.

Suave and debonair American actor Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963) with his trademark waxy black moustache was one of Hollywood's most distinguished stars and one of America's 'Best Dressed Men'. He started as a matinée idol in the silent cinema in such classics as Ernst Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924). His sound films included Morocco (1931) with Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper, A Star is Born (1937), and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas. In 1931, he was nominated for an Oscar for The Front Page (1931).

Notes: originally appeared as a wood engraving in Journal Amusant, August 11, 1860. Ridiculed for his prominent beard, his bald head and the exotic tunic he donned when operating, his showmanship earned him a reputation as an egotist and a dandified poseur (source: Paul Frecker).
André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (1819 - 1889) a self-taught daguerreotypist, researched and improved upon the existing collodion-on-glass negative process, which he outlined in his first publication, Manuel Opératoire de Photographie sur Collodion Instantané, 1853. That same year, he returned to Paris and opened the largest studio in Paris, which spread across two floors. It was there that he introduced his carte-de-visite portraits which were a great financial success. For the 1855 Paris Exposition Universelle, he formed the Société du Palais de l'Industrie and obtained the rights to photograph all the products and works of art exhibited at the Exposition. Eder writes "Disdéri was considered the outstanding portrait photographer of his time in Paris. Napoleon III appointed him court photographer. In 1861, he instructed French officers in photography under orders from the minister of war. Disdéri's popularity is best shown by the fact that his character was introduced in 1861 as a star attraction on the stage of a small vaudeville theater in Paris by a realistic representation featuring his bald head and tremendous beard."

French postcard, 1920s. Les Vedettes de l'Ecran. Editions Filma, No. 47. Photo by Pathé Frères. According to IMDB, Candé only acted in one true Pathé movie in the 1920s, L'affaire du train 24 (Gaston Leprieur, 1921).
Étienne Louis Charles Adolphe Candé, born 1 July 1858 in Paris and died 22 September 1931 in Épinay-sur-Seine (Seine-Saint-Denis, then Seine), was a French actor (sometimes credited as Candé).
Adolphe Candé began his career as a theatre actor around 1880 and often performed in Paris (notably at the Théâtre de l'Odéon and the Théâtre du Vaudeville). Among the plays he performed in his home town were William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (1889) and Madame Sans-Gêne by Victorien Sardou and Émile Moreau (premiered in 1893) - both with Réjane -, Charles Esquier's Entraîneuse (1913, with Victor Francen) and Sacha Guitry's Deburau (1918, with the author in the title role).
In the cinema, he was active exclusively during the silent period, contributing to nineteen French films, the first two released in 1911, the last being Julien Duvivier's Au Bonheur des Dames (1930, with Dita Parlo). In the meantime, he made André Calmettes and Henri Pouctal's Les Trois Mousquetaires (1912, with Émile Dehelly as D'Artagnan, himself playing Porthos), Louis Feuillade's Le Gamin de Paris (1923, with rené Oyen and Sandra Milovanoff) and Jacques de Baroncelli's Veille d'armes (1925, with Maurice Schutz). In addition, he directed four silent films, the first three released in 1917 (including Crésus, with Maurice de Féraudy); the fourth was La Folle Nuit de Théodore (1920, with Jane Marken).
Adolphe Candé died in 1931, aged 73. He is buried in Paris in the Père-Lachaise cemetery (66th division), alongside the writer Charles Monselet (1825-1888).

A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. A naked young woman sitting with her arms outstretched, pushing a winged boy. He is Eros or Cupid, the god of love, holding an arrow to pierce her. The title suggests that the young woman tries to defend herself, but she smiles and struggles unconvincingly against the mischievous little god.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905) was a French painter. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life, he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde. By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favour with the public, due in part to changing tastes. In the 1980s, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 known finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown.
