The elegance of French classicism
A student of David, Ingres inherited a taste for the rigor of drawing and the clarity of composition. But he quickly surpassed his master with a unique sensitivity: his lines elongate, his figures stretch, and his art becomes a quest for absolute harmony.
Works such as La Grande Odalisque, Le Bain turc, or La Source testify to this aesthetic pursuit where idealized beauty takes precedence over realism. Each portrait, each mythological or oriental scene reveals a perfect balance between sensuality and restraint.
