 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres
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.
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).
Ingres was a naturalist who persisted in practising the most idealistic style of art which was ever attempted in the French School.

 JEAN AUGUSTE DOMINIQUE INGRES, Don Pedro of Toledo Kissing the Sword of Henri IV
The figures in the Louvre painting were identified during Ingres’ lifetime as the Duc d’Epernon, Gabrielle d’Estrées (the king’s mistress), the poet Malherbe and the Cardinal Duperon (Oeuvres de J.A. Ingres, Albert Magimel, ed.).
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.

Ingres was a perfectionist to the point of obsession, seeking precision and mastery of form - particularly with regard to the costume and accessories.

Ingres is the first complete study of the life and work of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867), an artist whose rich, illusionistic surfaces dominated French painting for much of the 19th century.
These include Ingres' admiration of Raphael and early Italian painting, the remarkable nuances of line and bold color combinations that earned him designations such as "primitive", the arresting eroticism of his images, and the participation of his devoted studio in his work.
Ingres is a magnificently illustrated (over 300 illustrations, more than 200 in full color) and authoritative volume, the most complete work ever published on Ingres and one of the most thorough monographic studies of any painter of his era.

The third of the Riviere family portraits is that of the fifteen year-old girl whom Ingres referred to as the "ravishing daughter." Unlike the portrait of her mother, this image of femininity seizes a quality of youthful candor just on the brink of a womanhood that Mlle.
