Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres: References & Edit History
More Articles On This Topic
Additional Reading
The most authoritative account of Ingres’s life and career remains Henry Lapauze, Ingres, sa vie & son oeuvre (1780–1867): d’après des documents inédits (1911). Georges Vigne, Ingres (1995; originally published in French, 1995), provides an informative, lavishly illustrated biography in English. The most stimulating critical appraisal of Ingres’s entire production remains Robert Rosenblum, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1967, reissued 1985), also available in a condensed edition with the same title (1990). The principal catalogs are Georges Wildenstein, Ingres, 2nd rev. ed. (1956), a catalogue raisonné of the paintings; and Hans Naef, Die Bildniszeichnungen von J.-A.-D. Ingres, 5 vol. (1977–80), examines the portrait drawings. The portraits are the subject of Gary Tinterow and Philip Conisbee (eds.), Portraits by Ingres: Image of an Epoch (1999), a major exhibition catalog. Carol Ockman, Ingres’s Eroticized Bodies: Retracing the Serpentine Line (1995), presents a provocative critique of the artist’s work from a feminist perspective.
