William-Adolphe Bouguereau | The Mimosa Flower, 1899

In February 1899, the French🎨 painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)🎨 and his wife travelled with their son Paul to Menton, a small town on the French Riviera.

The journey was on the advice of Paul's doctors, who hoped the sea air would improve his recently diagnosed tuberculosis.

Paul (then 30) left behind his law practice, and Bouguereau put his painting aside as they settled into the elegant Hôtel des Îles Britanniques.

Though initially planned to last a month, the trip was extended week by week, and Bouguereau grew anxious to paint, writing to a friend "I finally found a room on the north side of the hotel and a few little models, and set to work" (as quoted from a letter dated March 1, 1899 in Bartoli, p. 394).
