1898
The Lord Mayor’s banquet and the Guildhall exhibition
In 1898, at a banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London, Bouguereau arranges an exhibition of French artists at the Guildhall Gallery, which to some extent affects the Victorian art market.
1899–1900
The illness and death of his son Paul
In early 1899 his son Paul contracts tuberculosis, and Paul, his stepmother and Bouguereau go to Menton in the south; when the stay is prolonged, the artist finds a room in which to paint. Paul dies at his father’s house in April 1900, aged 32: Bouguereau has outlived four of his five children, and only Henriette will outlive him.
1901
A banquet in honour of Nicholas II’s visit
In 1901 Bouguereau is invited to the official banquet in honour of the visit to France of the Russian emperor Nicholas II and the empress.
