Welcome!
Welcome to the world’s largest virtual museum of photoshopped and otherwise reworked masterpieces by French painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Here, you will discover artwork that never ceases to amaze you. In over 200 galleries and more than 1800 images, the planet’s most talented artists take over where Bouguereau left off — over a century ago.
On Bouguereau Remastered everything is possible. Discover 19th century bathers turning to scuba diving, peasant girls hiding from nuclear fallout, shepherdesses becoming stewardesses, and Sesame Street characters flying to heaven.
Scarlett Johansson breastfeeding? Britney Spears reborn as Venus? Nicole Kidman swimming with Cate Blanchett? It’s all happening here. Find out what Gollum’s mother looked like. Imagine Angelina Jolie as an angel. Meet anorexic cupids. And lots more!
Bouguereau Remastered takes iPods, cellphones, electric guitars and PlayStations back to the 19th century. Ghosts, dragons, robots and Manga kids appear in classic paintings as if they’ve always belonged there.
Over time, this site will grow bigger and better, so please come back regularly. In the meantime, enjoy what’s already here!
Start your discovery now. Click any picture at the top or the right to access the galleries.

This site is ridiculous! The photoshopped Bouguereau paintings are totally disrespectful of the artist! I’m a painter too, and I LOVE Bouguereau and seeing the edited works repulses me. Years from now if my paintings are to be manipulated like these, I’d be really offended. So I don’t get the point of this site, do you actually think that Bouguereau will be pleased if he’s still alive and see this site? You guys might be a fan, but this things…these manipulation crap are disrespectful. This site is a bad joke.

Let’s hope that anybody remembers your work after 100 years. As far as this site is concerned: you don’t have to come back if the works here offend you…

A minor technical detail; my Stenvall-Bouguereau hybrid is a (digital) painting made from scratch, not a photoshopped image in the sense the word is commonly used (a manipulation of existing images) =)

OMGOMGOMG, my super lame manipulation is listed here (The Abduction of Psyche, with Ben Barnes’ face in it)! Hahahahahah, this is soooo coooool! And such a good surprise!
Seriously, I don’t know why people gets so angry and offended about those new manips and re-creations using Bouguereau masterpieces. Why people don’t understand LULz? Or paying a homage? I bet Mousieur B. would understand it. And I’m sure he would see Art through many of those reworks (specially the digital ones). Naturally, I’m not refering to my manip, which had no artistic intentions – Oh, I wish I could create some real Art! I’m not making any money with my manips, they are exclusively for the fun and for the practicing of my manipulation “skills”.
Hope more people come here to see these galleries! ^_^/
Thank you and best regards, Romke!

I think bouguereau.net is doing a fine job of displaying some brilliant chops paying homage to a great master. I was surprised to find a few of mine on this site. I love reworking Bouguereau masterpieces.
Thanks for sharing,
