INGRES, Jean-Auguste-Dominique
(1780-1867) Neoclassicism French painter and draughtsman. After the Academy of Toulouse he entered the studio of *David in 1797, and later the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. In the Salon of 1806 his portrait of Napoleon I on the Imperial Throne created a stir and received adverse criticism which he had to suffer from critics most of his life. During a difficult period after the downfall of his patrons, the Bonaparte family, portrait drawings became the main source of income and he lived in Italy for a time. He returned to Paris, was elected to the Academy (1825) and was able to open a successful atelier; by the 1 840s he was a celebrated public figure and eventually became a Senator. I. was the painter of an ideal reality. He sought to reconcile a searching truth (expressed in the silhouette, relief-like modelling, purity of line and perfection in craftsmanship, strongly influenced by the Italian schools and David), with the inescapable Romanticism of his time. His most famous paintings are La Grande Baigneuse (1808), La Grande Odalisque (1819) and Le Bain Turc (1864). Though he had many pupils he had no significant followers until Degas reinterpreted his classical draughtsmanship.
