什麼是安格爾

Ingres, Jean-Auguste-Dominique

法國畫家。來到巴黎後曾隨大衛（J.-L. David）習畫，後進入美術學院，並獲得一等羅馬獎。他的首批公共作品之一，肖像畫《戴皇冠的拿破崙》（1806）被批評為生硬且仿古，但這是他有意創造出來的風格之一。在義大利期間（1806～1824）他因肖像畫和歷史畫出名，他的小型肖畫素描線條堅實明確。回到巴黎後，他以《路易十三世的宣誓》（1824）一畫，終於受到評論界的讚美，並獲得美術院的認可。1825年接替大衛成為法國新古典主義繪畫的領導人，併成立畫室，教授學生。該畫室後來成為巴黎最大的畫室，1840年代中期他是法國最重要的上流社會的肖像畫家。他的晚期著名作品有女裸體畫。他的眾多學生中無人學到他的特質，但竇加（Edgar Degas）、雷諾瓦（Pierre-Auguste Renoir）、畢卡索等人的繪畫發展似乎都有受到他的影響。

1780～1867年

Ingres, Jean-Auguste-Dominique

French painter. He studied with J.-L. David in Paris before attending the école des Beaux-Arts (1799-1801), where he won a Prix de Rome scholarship. Critics condemned one of his first public works, the awe-inspiring portrait Napoleon on His Imperial Throne (1806), as stiff and archaic, but its style was one he developed intentionally. In Italy (1806-24) he prospered with portraits and history paintings. His small-scale portrait drawings are meticulously rendered. Back in Paris he received critical acclaim at last and won admission to the Academy with The Vow of Louis XIII (1824). In 1825 he succeeded David as the leader of French Neoclassical painting and opened a teaching studio. It became one of the largest in Paris, and by the mid-1840s he was France's most sought-after society portraitist. Some of his most notable later works are female nudes. None of his many students attained distinction, but his influence is seen in the work of Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, and Pablo Picasso.
