More about this artwork

The First Mourning, painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1888, is a profoundly moving work that delves into the depths of human sorrow. This masterful depiction captures the moment after Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve, has been slain by his brother Cain. The biblical story's tragic dimension is powerfully rendered through the profound grief exhibited by the first parents of humanity.In this painting, Adam is seen holding his wife, Eve, who collapses in overwhelming anguish onto her deceased son. The limp body of Abel is cradled tenderly by his mother, exhibiting Bouguereau’s exceptional ability to convey the softness of human flesh and the vivid expression of emotion. Adam, depicted with a powerful build, looks toward the heavens, his face a portrait of sorrow and disbelief. The setting is subdued and somber, with a muted palette that reinforces the theme of mourning.Bouguereau’s work not only illustrates his technical prowess with lifelike precision and attention to detail but also invites viewers to reflect on themes of loss, grief, and the human condition. The First Mourning is not just a visual representation but an invitation to experience the universal and timeless nature of human sorrow.

All Artworks

William-Adolphe Bouguereau was a French academic painter. In paintings of the realistic genre, he used mythological themes, modern interpretation of classical themes, emphasizing the female human body. During his lifetime, he achieved great popularity in France and the United States, was awarded many official honors, and sold his works for top prices. In the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art disappeared from the public eye, partly due to its changing artistic tastes. A resurgence of interest in figurative painting in the 1980s led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. He completed 822 known paintings, but the whereabouts of many are still unknown.
