About the piece
Painted in 1892 by French master William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 'The Heart's Awakening' showcases the artist's legendary skill in rendering luminous skin tones and soft, classical forms. The central figure, draped in elegant purple and white, is visited by two cherubs who appear to awaken her inner feelings in a serene, wooded setting typical of the late academic style.
