Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, (1780-1867). French painter. He studied in David’s studio in Paris and in 1801 won the Grand Prix de Rome with The Envoys of Agamemnon, painted in the neoclassical style. He worked and studied in Rome until 1820 and opened a large studio on his return to Paris. Ingres led the Classical school of painters while Delacroix was the leader of the Romantics. He is noted for his clarity of line, as shown in his portraits of the Riviere family (1805), and for the sensuality of his nude portraits, particularly Grande Odalisque (1814) and The Turkish Bath (1862).
