Fighting Romanticism

Francois Marius Grant

The Great Odalisque

Ingres stressed that the bones must be emphasized in painting, and muscles are far less important. He believed that overly precise muscle drawing would become the biggest obstacle to the purity of the modeling, and would even waste the unique conception and make the work mediocre. This is an important aesthetic theory that no one had ever thought of before. The "Las Meninas" he created in 1814 at the invitation of Queen Caroline is the best proof of this theory. Ingres deliberately lengthened the waist of the figure (adding three vertebrae). This "boneless" variation enhances the unique charm of the nude. In addition, the color matching appears peaceful, stable and ingenious, so much so that some people say that no one in the Venetian School of Painting can match it.

Ingres's works are not simply a copy of the styles of ancient masters.

He is good at grasping the plastic beauty of classical art.

Specializes in portraiture

Our Lady of Hoste

The Countess of Hawsonville

This portrait was painted when the artist was 65 years old and can be considered one of the best examples of his late years. At this time, he had become a lover of all things beautiful and exquisite. Overall, this portrait is a bit pretentious, but it is really well painted, so his critics no longer have anything to say. The character modeling is absolutely rigorous and accurate, but because of this extraordinary accuracy, in the expression technique, the line becomes an absolutely overwhelming form and loses its painting quality and its lively and smooth spirit. The painter may have felt that this painting quality is so necessary that he compensated for it with bright blocks of color.
