Contact Tables Network Banners Premade Layouts Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was born in Montauban and first taught drawing by his father. As a child Ingres displayed talent in the areas of both art music but in 1791enrolled at the Academy of Toulouse under painter Joseph Roques. In 1797 he studied under David and in 1799 was accepted at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts Ingres where he won the Rome Prize of 1801 with The Ambassadors of Agamemnon in the Tent of Achilles. Ingres showed three portraits of Philibert Rivière, Mme Rivière, and Mlle Rivière at the Paris Salon in 1806 but the paintings were poorly met. The same year he left for French Academy in Rome on a scholarship where he studied the Renaissance masters with particular attentions to Raphael, Titian and Holbein. During this period he produced portraits of French society. In 1824 Ingres returned to Paris where he opened a studio and in 1825 was elected a member of the Academy. Also that year he was awarded the Legion of Honor. Ingres, never popular at the Salons, was met with heavy disapproval in 1834 for Martyrdom of Saint Symphorian. Angered, the artist accepted a post as Director of the French Academy, claiming he would never show his work in Paris again. Ingres continued as director until 1841 when he returned to Paris where his work was finally met with success. In 1845 he was awarded the Order of Merit and for a brief period held the position of president of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres died in Paris in 1867. |
