ABOUT THIS PIECE William Adolphe Bouguereau's The Proposal was created in 1872 and is in Metropolitan Museum of Art New York. The size of the work is 163,5 x 111,8 cm and is made of oil on canvas. The motif of a young man at a window, wooing a woman at her spinning wheel, and the vaguely sixteenth-century German costumes and setting, led writers to associate this painting with the tragic story of Faust and Marguerite. The seduction of the innocent heroine by the wicked Faust was a popular pictorial subject in the nineteenth century, inspired by Goethe’s dramatic poem and its operatic staging by Charles Gounod. Regardless of the lovers’ identities, the lushly painted, romantic scene would have appealed to Bouguereau’s well-heeled clientele. The Artist: William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) was a French academic painter. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes.
