Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, August 29, 1780 – January 14, 1867, was a French painter, draftsman, and portraitist. Born in Montauban, he was trained first by his father, Jean-Marie-Joseph Ingres, and later studied in Toulouse before entering the studio of Jacques-Louis David in Paris.
Ingres worked in history painting, portraiture, and mythological subjects, and was associated with the neoclassical tradition. He won the Prix de Rome in 1801, lived for long periods in Rome and Florence, and later served as director of the French Academy in Rome.
His pupils included Théodore Chassériau, Hippolyte Flandrin, and Amaury-Duval. His work is held by the Louvre Museum, the Musée Ingres Bourdelle, the Condé Museum, the Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Uffizi Gallery
