JeanAugusteDominique

JeanAugusteDominique is the concatenated form of the name Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, a prominent French painter of the 19th century. The combined form appears in some databases and informal references that omit spaces or hyphens, but it refers to the same figure widely known as Ingres.

Born in 1780 in Montauban, France, Ingres established himself as a leading figure in the French Neoclassical tradition. He studied drawing and painting in Paris, later winning the Prix de Rome and spending several years in Rome, where classical ideals deeply influenced his approach. Upon returning to Paris, he emerged as a central educator and practitioner of academic painting, valued for his disciplined draughtsmanship and refined finish.

Ingres is best known for works that emphasize line and form, often with idealized, elongated figures. Notable paintings include La Grande Odalisque (1814) and The Apotheosis of Homer (1827). He produced numerous portraits and mythological scenes, balancing classical restraint with a sensitivity to color and atmosphere that drew attention in his time and afterward.

His career helped shape the academic painting tradition in France, and his influence extended into the broader 19th-century art world. Ingres’ works are held in major museums, including the Louvre, which houses several key canvases, and other international collections. The name JeanAugusteDominique thus serves primarily as a variant reference to this distinguished painter, whose legacy rests on his precise draftsmanship, formal clarity, and enduring contribution to European art.
