"Temptation" (1880) is a painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, known for his classical and mythological subjects rendered with lifelike precision and a polished finish. Bouguereau, a prominent figure in 19th-century French art, was a staunch traditionalist whose work exemplified the academic art movement and often focused on themes of beauty, innocence, and sensuality.

The painting "Temptation" depicts a scene that is likely allegorical, featuring figures that may represent moral or spiritual concepts. Bouguereau's skill in figure painting is evident in the detailed rendering of the human form, capturing both the physical beauty and the emotional nuances of the subjects. The composition, use of color, and lighting are characteristic of Bouguereau's style, which sought to achieve a sense of idealized perfection and harmony.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Temptation" would have been created during a period when the artist enjoyed considerable success, receiving commissions from wealthy patrons and accolades from the Paris Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The painting would have been intended for a clientele that appreciated the technical mastery and aesthetic qualities of Bouguereau's art, as well as the often moralistic or didactic messages conveyed through his choice of subject matter.

While Bouguereau's popularity waned with the rise of modernist movements that rejected academic art's strict adherence to classical ideals, his work has experienced a resurgence in interest in recent decades. "Temptation" is part of Bouguereau's extensive oeuvre, which continues to be studied and appreciated for its craftsmanship and its place within the context of art history.

The painting is a testament to Bouguereau's enduring legacy as a master of the academic tradition, and it remains an example of the high level of skill and artistry that characterized the output of one of the late 19th century's most prolific and successful painters.
