Le Printemps (The Return of Spring)
- Le Printemps (The Return of Spring)
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. It is currently on display at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. 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.
