Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (August 29, 1780, Montauban, France - January 14, 1867, Paris, France | Education: Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture | Period: Neoclassicism) was a French Neoclassical painter. Although he considered himself to be a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was Ingres's portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his greatest legacy.
