About the Author
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was a French painter and master draftsman who became one of the principal representatives of Neoclassicism. Celebrated for his portraits and history paintings, he combined extraordinary precision of line with deliberately elongated and sometimes unconventional treatments of the human body. His distinctive tension between classical discipline and formal distortion fascinated later artists, including Degas, Matisse, and Picasso.
