1780-1867 French painter. He was the last grand champion of the French classical tradition of history painting. He was traditionally presented as the opposing force to Delacroix in the early 19th-century confrontation of Neo-classicism and Romanticism, but subsequent assessment has shown the degree to which Ingres, like Neo-classicism, is a manifestation of the Romantic spirit permeating the age. The chronology of Ingres's work is complicated by his obsessive perfectionism, which resulted in multiple versions of a subject and revisions of the original.   Related Paintings of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres :. | odalisque and slave | apotheosis of homer | jupiter och thetis | loui-franvois betin | Portrait de Pierre-Francois Bernier |
