Jean-Auguste Ingres
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) was a celebrated French Neoclassical painter known for his portraits and history paintings. Ingres’ style, characterized by a meticulous linearity and pursuit of ideal beauty, stood in contrast to the more emotive Romanticism of his contemporary, Eugène Delacroix. His works, such as “Grande Odalisque” and “The Apotheosis of Homer,” reveal a deep reverence for classical tradition. Despite initial controversy, Ingres’ significant contribution to French painting has been recognized, and he is celebrated as a precursor to modern art.
