"Les Oreades" is a renowned painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1902. Bouguereau, known for his classical and mythological themes, was a prominent figure in the academic art movement of the late 19th century. The painting depicts the Oreads, nymphs from Greek mythology associated with mountains and grottoes, in a scene that embodies the artist's characteristic blend of idealism and realism.

The composition of "Les Oreades" is a testament to Bouguereau's mastery of the human form and his ability to convey delicate, ethereal beauty. The nymphs are portrayed in various poses, with some floating gracefully in the air, while others recline or stand amidst a mountainous landscape. The use of light and shadow, along with the soft, harmonious color palette, enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene. The figures are rendered with a high degree of anatomical precision, a hallmark of Bouguereau's work, reflecting his rigorous academic training and his dedication to classical ideals of beauty.

"Les Oreades" is often cited as an example of Bouguereau's late-career interest in more complex compositions and his continued engagement with themes from antiquity. The painting is also notable for its representation of feminine grace and the romanticized portrayal of mythological subjects, which were popular among the artist's contemporaries and patrons. Today, "Les Oreades" is appreciated for its technical excellence and its place within the broader context of 19th-century academic art. It remains a significant work within Bouguereau's oeuvre, exemplifying the qualities that have led to both the enduring popularity and the critical reassessment of his artistic legacy.
