Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres Neoclassical Paintings Review

This is the last Ingres review. In the first painting, we see a scene from the Iliad. In this moment, the Greek's ships are being burnt up. The ambassadors are asking Achilles to help them fight. Achilles seems worried. However, he will not yield just yet. Beside him, we see his beloved Patruclus. The scenery is pretty realistic. Truly, this lovely Greek painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see a shy bather. The scenery appears to be the middle of the forest. This painting is all about female beauty. There is nothing else to it. In any case, this Ingres painting deserves 5 stars rating.

Above, we see a scene from the Iliad. Here, Achille's mother, Thetis, is asking Zeus for a favor. She wants the Greeks to lose while Achilles refuses to fight. He is looking stern, like a king. Behind her, we see Hera glaring at Thetis. Beside Zeus, we see his eagle. This lovely Greek painting by Ingres deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting focuses on a pretty moor lady. This type of reclining figure was pretty popular among academic painters. Titian made such figures pretty famous. Drawing inspiration from Titian, here we have this lady. She is listening to the music being played by her slave. The moor scenery is pretty neat. In any case, this lovely painting by Ingres deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, the African Knight Roger is rescuing Angelica. Angelica was offered up as a sacrifice to a dragon. To keep her safe during the battle, Roger gave her a ring of invisibility. On the meantime, he is busy killing the dragon while ridding his Griffin. This cool painting about the Epic Poem Orlando Furioso deserves 5 stars rating.

Ossian is the main character of a series of epic poems. In this scene, the bard is dreaming. He is seeing all the ghosts of all the fallen heroes. The scenery is pretty odd and creepy. This painting by Ingres deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see Ingres' famous Odalisque. She is looking back at the viewer while playing with her fan. She stands for what Ingres considers ideal beauty. The entire light falls on this maiden. This lovely painting by Ingres deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see the source of the water. From this maiden sprouts and entire river. Her pose is very pretty. She also appears to be standing on water. A lot of fountains feature maidens with basins. As such, here we have this cutie. Truly, she deserves 5 stars rating.

Above, we see a Turkish Bath. Nothing else needs to be said. This lovely painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, a King is doing his vows before the Virgin Mary. It was a pretty common ritual back them. Two cherubs are holding up a sign for him to read. It looks cool how the angels are parting the curtains. They are revealing the heavenly world. In any case, this lovely painting by Ingres deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see Venus surrounded by cherubs. One is offering her a mirror. Her pose is very similar to the Source Painting. This cute Venus painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see the Virgin Mary. She has her hand to her heart. This last featured painting deserves 5 stars rating. I hope that you liked this Ingres review.
