Work titled The Dawn, oil on canvas painted in 1881 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. French academic painter, hyperrealist style. The character Aurora (Dawn), is a goddess from Roman mythology, known for her appearances in classical literature. Mentioned since ancient times by literary figures such as Homer, Virgil, and later Shakespeare.
This dynamic work shows a maiden suspended in the air, touching the water with her toe, smelling a calla lily, and brandishing a cloth that simultaneously covers her body. The composition is circular, the figure's dynamics flow in all directions: head, arm, and legs from the center.
The canvas of The Dawn is currently housed in the Birmingham Museum of Art, United States.
