About the author
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
67 books1 followerJean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (29 August 1780 – 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Ingres was profoundly influenced by past artistic traditions and aspired to become the guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style. Although he considered himself a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, it is his portraits, both painted and drawn, that are recognized as his greatest legacy. His expressive distortions of form and space made him an important precursor of modern art, influencing Picasso, Matisse and other modernists.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ingress' works and I am especially interested in art during The French Revolution and Balzac's France which his stories which had artist Joseph Bridau and others, I can see Balzac appreciating Ingress and other artists.
"Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, the most celebrated exponent of the Neoclassical style of art, was born in Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne, France. He was the first of seven children to Jean-Marie-Joseph Ingres (1755–1814), who was a successful jack-of-all-trades in the arts —noted as a painter of miniatures, sculptor, decorative stonemason and amateur musician —and Anne Moulet (1758–1817), the daughter of a master wigmaker. The young Ingres received early encouragement and instruction in drawing and music form his father, producing his first known drawing, a study after an antique cast, in 1789. He attended the local school École des Frères de l’Éducation Chrétienne, but his learning was disrupted by the turmoil of the French Revolution, as the closing of the school in 1791 marked the end of his conventional education. Throughout his career, the deficiency of schooling would remain a source of insecurity for Ingres. "
