# Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

French, 1780–1867; born in Montauban; died in Paris

Ingres trained under Jacques-Louis David and won the Prix de Rome, then spent nearly two decades in Italy, absorbing Raphael above all. He became the champion of line and classical tradition against Delacroix’s Romanticism, and later directed the French Academy in Rome. Though he thought history painting his true calling, he is now most admired for his portraits, both his polished oils and the precise graphite drawings he made of visitors in Rome and Florence.
