"The Oreads" (French: Les Oréades) is a renowned oil painting by French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, completed in 1902. This work is one of Bouguereau's later pieces, exemplifying his mastery of the academic painting tradition and his penchant for classical and mythological subjects. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, featuring the Oreads, nymphs of the mountains and grottoes, in a moment of ethereal beauty and harmony with nature.

Measuring 182.9 by 274.3 centimeters, "The Oreads" is a large-scale work that showcases Bouguereau's skillful use of light, shadow, and texture to create lifelike figures and a palpable sense of movement. The composition is characterized by a group of nymphs gracefully descending a mountainous landscape, their diaphanous drapery and the fluidity of their forms accentuating the idealized beauty that is typical of Bouguereau's art.

Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render the human form with both accuracy and idealism are evident in this painting. The artist's use of color, with soft pastel tones and a harmonious palette, contributes to the dreamlike quality of the scene. "The Oreads" is considered a prime example of Bouguereau's romantic yet classical style, which, despite the rise of modernist movements at the time, remained popular among certain collectors and the academic establishment.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Oreads" is held in a private collection, and it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and enchanting portrayal of mythological subjects. The painting is often cited in discussions of Bouguereau's body of work and is featured in various publications and exhibitions that explore the legacy of academic art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
