Marvin,

What is your source of information on Parkhurst not having studied with Bouguereau? I have an original copy of his 1898 book, and it states there on the title page, "Pupil of William Sartain, of Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury, and of Aimee Morot.." etc., etc. I doubt it would have been printed at that time with that information on it if it were not true. Bouguereau was still alive in 1898.

Tony Robert-Fleury was also an excellent painter, highly regarded in his day, and shared the teaching duties at the Academie Julian with Bouguereau. His magnificent painting, "The Last Day of Corinth," can be seen at the Musee D'Orsay, in Paris.

I consider Parkhurst's book the absolute best book on oil painting I have ever read, and I have surely read them all by now. It influenced me profoundly when I first read it, long ago, and I continue to refer to it and recommend it.
