À propos du tableau
Ingres painted this likeness of his good friend in her summer home in Enghien, near Paris. He had met Augustine-Modeste-Hortense and her husband, Frédéric, in Italy, during his tenure as the director of the French Academy in Rome; Frédéric soon became an avid collector of the artist’s work and later served as curator of drawings at the Louvre. After returning to Paris, Ingres often sought refuge at his friends’ lake house, which he called “paradise.”With its oval format, limited color range, and the striking realism of its sitter, this painting can easily be compared to daguerreotype photography. However, rather than imitating the new medium of photography, this work, with its subtle fluctuation between clarity and blurriness, functions as a painterly challenge to the early limitations of photographic technologies.
