  Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1815 Ingres executed Raphael and the Fornarina in 1816 Aretino and the envoy of Charles V, and Aretino and Tintoretto; in 1817 the Death of Leonardo and Henry IV playing with his children, both of which works were commissions from the Comte de Blacas, then ambassador of France to the Holy See.
Madame Ingres acquired a faith in her husband which enabled her to combat with courage and patience the difficulties which beset their common existence, and which were increased by their removal to Florence.
Ingres thus left himself without the means of producing the necessary unity of effect when dealing with crowded compositions, such as the Apotheosis of Homer and the Martyrdom of Saint Symphorien, which had been employed by Raphael, the master he most revered.

 Malaspina Great Books - Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867)
Ingres had been friendly with a Florentine sculptor named Bartolini, and was strongly atracted by the works of the early Renaissance period, and by that art throbbing with life, and almost feverish in its manner of depicting nature, such as we find examples of in the works of Donatello and Filippo Lippi.
This same taste for what is quaint led Ingres at this period to produce a host of minor anecdotal or historical works such as Raphael and the Fornarina, Francesca da rimini (1819, in the Angers Museum), etc., works that at times display the wit, the romance, and the caprice of a quattrocento miniature.
Henceforward Ingres was looked up to as the leader of the traditional School, and he proves his claim to the title by producing the famous Apotheosis of Homer (Louvre, 1827).

 Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Ingres was a perfectionist to the point of obsession, seeking precision and mastery of form - particularly with regard to the costume and accessories.
Ingres's traditional training allied to his research into the customs of the Ottoman court produced a hybrid marriage of the ideal and the real; his bathers and odalisques are ideal beauties, but also real women, their existence emphasized by the artist's choice of luxury fabrics and accessories.
Ingres did not involve himself in the wider intellectual scene of his time, his main contacts being with a small group of intimates, including his favoured pupils; it is from the latter that we gain our impressions of Ingres the man as well as Ingres the artist.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres
Ingres accepted his master's programme in its entirety.
Throughout his life Ingres did violence to himself to paint scenes of the order of his master's "Sabines", as he suceeded in doing in his "Achilles receiving the messengers of Agamemnon" (Pais, Ecole des Beaux-Arts), which in 1801 won the "Prix de Rome".
In 1806 Ingres set out for Rome, and in the Vatican he saw the frescoes of the greatest of the decorators, the master of the "Parnassus" and the "School of Athens".

 JEAN AUGUSTE DOMINIQUE INGRES, Don Pedro of Toledo Kissing the Sword of Henri IV
During this time Ingres was working on the monumental Vow of Louis XIII, which had been commissioned for the cathedral at Montauban, but he reminded Gilibert that it was the small pictures that took the longest and required the most minute care.
In November of 1821 Ingres declared, on the first of several occasions, that the painting was finished "to the contentment of all." (Boyer d’Agen dates this letter to 1822, but Blanc’s dating of 1821 is the only logical one.) He complained again of the trouble little pictures (made "with too much conscience") caused him.
Nevertheless, Ingres seems to have been unable to resist further refinements and in January of 1822 wrote Gilibert that he had again retouched the painting, which was slow to dry because it was painted on wood.
