Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres<\/strong>
(1780-1867)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
French Neoclassical Painter<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Ingres was the main Neoclassical painter after his mentor Jacques-Louis David died in 1825. He was very much influenced by David an the works of antiquity he saw in the Louvre. His style was in opposition to Eugene Delacroix and the rising Romanticism style. He spent time studying art between Paris and Rome and had many ups and downs throughout his career and at the end of it, there was left no one to continue on the Neoclassical style that he carried on for David. He was varied with his subject matter throughout his career\u2014ranging from historical paintings to portraits but at the end of it, he was the most sought-after society portrait painter in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a student of David, Ingres also had a firm belief that more attention should be paid to the drawing of lines and contours rather than colour. This is what he thought set himself apart from the Romantics. While he held this belief, he still also had an excellent grasp on colour and texture in the way he handled fabrics and clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find the drawings so enlightening to Ingres’ process. You can see what he chooses to pays attention to in his sketches and how that plays out in the final paintings. He focuses on the softness of the face and hair and pays close attention to the way the fabric creases. All this forethought comes through in his final pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
