"Le Jour" is a painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1884. Bouguereau was a traditionalist whose realistic genre paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of classical subjects, both pagan and Christian. His work was characterized by a highly finished, technically virtuosic style that emphasized the female human body in a sentimental and idealized manner.

The painting "Le Jour," which translates to "The Day" in English, is part of a series that includes "La Nuit" (The Night), reflecting Bouguereau's fascination with personifying times of day and abstract concepts through the human form. In "Le Jour," Bouguereau presents an allegorical representation of daylight, often characterized by a figure that exudes the freshness and brightness associated with morning or daytime.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Le Jour" showcases his skill in rendering the delicate textures of skin and fabric, as well as his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression. The painting is a testament to the enduring popularity of academic art in the late 19th century, despite the rise of Impressionism and other avant-garde movements that challenged the academic norms of the time.

"Le Jour" is emblematic of Bouguereau's contributions to French academic painting, and it remains an example of the era's adherence to classical techniques and themes. The painting is held in a private collection, and it continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of an idealized human figure as the embodiment of daylight.
