Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres Biography(1780-1867)French painter Born at Montauban, the son of a minor
painter and sculptor, Jean-Marie-Joseph
Ingres (1755-1814). |

These fall into two
categories: portraits of himself and his
friends, conceived in a Romantic spirit (Gilibert,
Musée Ingres, Montauban, 1805), and
portraits of well-to-do clients which are
characterized by purity of line and
enamel-like coloring (Mlle Rivière, Louvre,
Paris, 1805). These early portraits are
notable for their calligraphic line and
expressive contour, which had a sensuous
beauty of its own beyond its function to
contain and delineate form. It was a feature
that formed the essential basis of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres
painting throughout his life. |

| Ingres stayed in Paris for the next ten years and received the official success and honors the Neoclassical painter had always craved. During this period the painter devoted much of his time to executing two large Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres paintings: The Apotheosis of Homer, for a ceiling in the Louvre (installed 1827), and The Martyrdom of St Symphorian (Salon, 1834) for the cathedral of Autun. When the latter painting was badly received, however, the Neoclassical artist accepted the Directorship of the French School in Rome, a post he retained for 7 years. The artist was a model administrator and teacher, greatly improving the school's facilities, but he produced few major Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres paintings in this period. In 1841 he returned to France, once again acclaimed as the champion of traditional values. He was heartbroken when his wife died in 1849, but he made a successful second marriage in 1852, and he continued working with great energy into his 80s. |

One of his acknowledged masterpieces, the extraordinarily sensuous Turkish Bath
(Louvre, 1863), dates from the last years of his life. At his death the artist left a huge bequest of
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres painting (several paintings and more than
4,000 Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres drawings) to his home town of Montauban and they are now in the museum
bearing his name there. Ingres is a puzzling artist and his career is full of contradictions. Yet more than most artists Ingres was obsessed by a restricted number of themes and returned to the same subject again and again over a long period of years. The Neoclassical painter was a bourgeois with the limitations of a bourgeois mentality, but as Baudelaire remarked, the finest Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres paintings are the product of a deeply sensuous nature'. The central contradiction of his career is that although the neoclassical painter was held up as the guardian of Classical rules and precepts, it is his personal obsessions and mannerisms that make him such a great artist. His technique as a painter was academically unimpeachable--he said paint should be as smooth `as the skin of an onion'--but Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres was often attacked for the expressive distortions of his draughtsman ship; critics said, for example, that the abnormally long back of La Grande Odalisque (Louvre, 1814) had three extra vertebrae. Unfortunately the influence of Ingres was mainly seen in those shortcomings and weaknesses which have come to be regarded as the hallmark of inferior academic work. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres had scores of pupils, but Chassériau was the only one to attain distinction. As a great calligraphic genius his true successors are Degas and Picasso. |
