Bouguereau was an admirer of traditional art and had no time for anything resembling innovation or the avant-garde. His sense of idealism was his guiding principle, regarding the ugly as worthless for representation. His views angered many, for example, J.K. Huysmans who called Bouguereau 'a master in the hierarchy of mediocrity'. He has left a large body of work and he is undoubtedly a key figure in 19th century French art.
