Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres - Paintings
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, who was known as a prodigy and best artist of his time, is considered the most important French painter of Neoclassicism.
Born on August 29, 1780 in Montauban.
Died on January 14, 1867 in Paris.
4 years after graduating from the Academy of Toulouse, to which he was admitted at the age 11 and his education with Jacques Louis David, which he began in 1797, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres won the Rome Prize, which earned him a scholarship in Italy. Before going to Italy in 1806 to study the works of Raphael, he extensively dealt with medieval miniature painting, which puts him in the tradition of Dürer, Holbein and Raphael. With its in clear contours and little shading and sparse background, the work of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres forms a significant counter-trend to the expressive and romantic works of his contemporary colleagues. After a 4-year stay in Florence, Ingres returned to Paris where he started as an academy member in 1825. Until 1853, he was promoted as President of the École Nationale des Beaux Arts. After he spent another 7 years in Rome, his pictures appeared a little more objective and more discreet in color, influenced by ancient vase paintings, which he had discovered during this period.
