Jean Auguste Dominiqe Ingres

1790 - 1867





The Valpincon Bather, 1808
Louvre, Paris



This picture shows the mastery of Ingres in the rendering of forms and the cool clarity of his composition. The painting is a calm representation of classical beauty in the human nude. Softened by the delicate reflected light. The only sound or movement is that of a small spout of water.






La Grand Odalisque, 1814
