Dive into the extraordinary career of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867), a titan of nineteenth-century Neoclassical art, with this compelling hardcover monograph. Authored by Andrew Carrington Shelton and designed by Blok Design, this 240-page book traces Ingres’ seventy-year journey through one of France’s most turbulent eras—from the French Revolution to the rise and fall of empires. Though Ingres revered history paintings as the pinnacle of art, his legacy today shines brightest in his innovative portraits, like Turkish Bath and Grande Odalisque, celebrated for their timeless physical and psychological depth.
This insightful and unbiased survey offers a comprehensive look at Ingres’ life and work, exploring his key paintings and drawings with vivid detail. Shelton examines how shifting tastes during Ingres’ lifetime elevated his portraits above his historical works, cementing his status as a master whose art transcends generations. Perfect for art historians and admirers alike, this book reveals the brilliance of a pivotal figure in Neoclassical history.
