IDEALISED CLASSICISM: Jean-August Ingres

delivered by Alan Read

9/4/21: JEAN-AUGUSTE DOMINQUE INGRES (1780-1867): IDEALISED CLASSICISM

‘There comes a time when an artist of genius feels somehow swept along by his own capacities…I think I am that man’. Leader of the neo-classical school, heir to Poussin and pupil of David, Ingres was known for his history paintings but excelled as a portraitist and one of the greatest draughtsman of all time. Alan will consider all these aspects of Ingres’ work.
