Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres – part 3

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780 – 1867) was a French Neoclassical artist. 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 recognised as his greatest legacy.

For a full biography see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 and 2 also.

This is part 3 of a 8 – part series on the works of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres:

1814 Raphael and the Fornarina

This composition, the first of six versions, articulates Ingres’s conception of the art of painting. For him, the oeuvre of the Renaissance artist Raphael was the pinnacle of artistic achievement. Here Ingres draws on Raphael’s relationship with the woman known as “La Fornarina” (the Little Baker), which, according to the biographer Giorgio Vasari, led to the young artist’s death from an excess of lovemaking. Raphael has just sketched the famous portrait of her, and his beloved subject sits on his knee. But Raphael has eyes only for his own creation, which, like Ingres’s representation of its model, meets the viewer’s gaze. This triangle of glances is complicated by the presence of the Virgin in Raphael’s Madonna of the Chair, seen against the back wall, where she resembles the artist’s lover.
