Arnulf de Bouché (born July 6, 1872 in Munich ; † March 25, 1945 in Langkampfen ) was a German nude, genre and still life painter.

Born as the son of the glass painter Karl de Bouché (1845–1920), he received his first painting lessons from his father, then studied from November 2, 1863 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich with Gabriel von Hackl and Paul Hoecker .

From 1901 he exhibited his works in the Munich Glass Palace , in 1914 he took part in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition .

The main theme of his work was female nudes, often in an oriental environment, and the names of the women depicted were also influenced by oriental eroticism.

Some of his works are in the collections of German museums, e. B. the self-portrait in 1912 in the Nuremberg City Museum , but most of the pictures came into private collections.
