The commission for “The Vow of Louis XIII” for Montauban Cathedral
The French Ministry of the Interior commissioned Ingres to paint an altarpiece for the cathedral of his native Montauban on the theme of the Vow of Louis XIII. The commission, which took four years, changed his life and brought him back to the canons of Neoclassicism.

“The Vow of Louis XIII” at the Salon of 1824
Ingres showed the picture to which he had given four years at the Salon on 12 November 1824, alongside Delacroix's Massacre at Chios, and it was dubbed the “Salon of the Romantic battle”. Admirers and critics alike said the same of him: “the Raphael of our day” and “the best antidote to the Romantic threat”.
1834
The failure of “The Martyrdom of Saint Symphorian”
Ingres worked for ten years on the grand Martyrdom of Saint Symphorian as the summation of all his skill, but at the Salon of 1834 it was attacked by both the Neoclassicists and the Romantics. In anger he announced that he would no longer accept public commissions or take part in the Salon.
