Portrais By Ingres • The Metropolitan Museum Of Art New York



Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, más conocido como Dominique Ingres, (Montauban, 29 de agosto de 1780 – París; 14 de enero de 1867), fue un pintor francés.
Ingres no es, en sentido estricto, neoclásico ni académico, sino un ferviente defensor del dibujo. Resulta a la vez clásico, romántico y realista. Ingres constituye un claro exponente del romanticismo en cuanto a los temas, el trazo abstracto y las tintas planas de intenso colorido. Algunas de sus obras se enmarcan en el llamado «Estilo trovador», inspirándose en el ideal estético griego y gótico, además de en las miniaturas de los libros de horas de Fouquet. Igualmente, es ejemplo de orientalismo, pues muchos de sus cuadros, especialmente desnudos femeninos, están dominados por un sentido irreal del exotismo propio del siglo XVIII. Bio completa en wiki

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French: [ʒɑnoɡyst dominik ɛ̃ɡʁ]; 29 August 1780 – 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Although he considered himself to be a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was Ingres's portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his greatest legacy.
A man profoundly respectful of the past, he assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis, Eugène Delacroix. His exemplars, he once explained, were "the great masters which flourished in that century of glorious memory when Raphael set the eternal and incontestable bounds of the sublime in art ... I am thus a conservator of good doctrine, and not an innovator."[1] Nevertheless, modern opinion has tended to regard Ingres and the other Neoclassicists of his era as embodying the Romantic spirit of his time,[2] while his expressive distortions of form and space make him an important precursor of modern art.
