FAQ About Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

What was Ingres' relationship with Romanticism?

While Ingres was a neoclassical painter, he often stood in opposition to the Romantic style, which favored emotion and color over form and line. Nevertheless, some of his works, such as La Grande Odalisque, exhibit a certain romantic sensuality that blurs the strict boundaries between these artistic movements.
