"Reverie" (also known as "Revery") is a painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1894. Bouguereau, renowned for his traditionalist style, was a dominant figure in French academic painting during the late 19th century, and his work often reflects a blend of classical subject matter with a realistic use of light and shadow.

The painting "Reverie" showcases Bouguereau's skill in depicting the human form with grace and idealization. It features a young woman in a contemplative pose, exuding a sense of peaceful introspection. The subject's gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a moment of private thought or daydreaming. The title "Reverie" itself implies a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts—a daydream or a fanciful musing.

Bouguereau's technique in "Reverie" is characterized by smooth brushwork and a polished finish, hallmarks of his style that contribute to the lifelike yet idealized portrayal of the figure. The use of light and shadow in the painting is subtle and serves to enhance the three-dimensionality of the form, while the muted color palette emphasizes the tranquil and dreamy quality of the scene.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Reverie" reflects the artist's focus on beauty and purity, themes that were popular among the academic art circles of the time but would later face criticism from avant-garde movements that sought to challenge traditional aesthetics.

"Reverie" is part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which includes over 800 paintings. His works have been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world and are part of important public and private collections. Despite the shifts in artistic trends and the initial decline in his popularity following the rise of Impressionism and Modernism, Bouguereau's art has experienced a resurgence in appreciation, with "Reverie" remaining a testament to his enduring appeal and technical mastery.
