INGRES, JEAN AUGUSTE DOMINIQUE, born at Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne), Aug. 29, 1780, died in Paris, Jan. 14, 1867. History and portrait painter, pupil of Roques in Toulouse, and of David in Paris (1796); won the second grand prix in 1800, and the grand prix de Rome in 1801, but being unable to go to Italy on account of the war he spent the next five years in Paris studying the pictures in the Louvre, supporting himself meanwhile by making designs and book illustrations. After living from 1806 to 1820 in Rome, where he studied the works of Raphael with devotion, and from 1820 to 1824 in Florence, he returned to Paris to take rank as one of the greatest artists of his time, and to produce an immense number of works, many of which are of great excellence. As a colourist he is cold and unsympathetic, but as a draughtsman he is perhaps the first of French artists. Some of his portraits, as, for instance, that of M. Bertin, are masterpieces in character and in drawing. He had many distinguished pupils, such as Hippolyte Flandrin, and was familiarly known in Paris as "Le père Ingres."
