Enters the studio of Ingres at eleven
At the age of eleven he is accepted into the studio of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and becomes the favourite pupil of the great classicist, who regards him as his truest disciple. According to an account that may be apocryphal, Ingres declared that this child would be the “Napoleon of painting”.

Ingres leaves for Rome; Chassériau is drawn to Delacroix
When Ingres leaves Paris in 1834 to become director of the French Academy in Rome, Chassériau falls under the influence of Eugène Delacroix, whose painterly colorism was anathema to Ingres.
1836
First Salon and a third-place medal
He exhibits for the first time at the Paris Salon and is awarded a third-place medal in the category of history painting.
1840
Trip to Italy and the break with Ingres
In 1840 Chassériau travels to Rome and meets Ingres, whose bitterness at the direction his student’s work is taking leads to a decisive break. In Italy he makes landscape sketches, studies Renaissance frescoes and visits Pompeii.
