Le Printemps (The Return of Spring) is a title of many paintings.
Le Printemps, created by artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1886, is among the more well-known of his works. It is in the collection of the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, and was acquired in 1951 as the gift of Francis T. B. Martin. In 1890 and again in 1976, the painting was physically attacked by several people offended by its overtly sensual nudity.
Another well-known painting by this title was made by Pierre Auguste Cot.
Famous quotes containing the word return:
“East and west on fields forgotten
Bleach the bones of comrades slain,
Lovely lads and dead and rotten;
None that go return again.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
