Nella vita di Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Tutta la vita1813
Married: Madeleine Chapelle
1813
Marriage to Madeleine Chapelle
The acquaintance began by letter: Ingres drew Madeleine Chapelle's portrait from descriptions in her letters, and when they met in September the drawing matched the original; they married in December. Madeleine wrote to her sister that Ingres was an artist of enormous talent, neither a spendthrift, nor a drunkard, nor a libertine.
1814
Death of his father
In 1814 Ingres's father, Jean-Marie-Joseph, died in France. They had last met ten years earlier, in 1804, when his father visited Paris and Ingres painted his portrait.
1814–1815
The loss of a child
After a difficult childbirth the child of Ingres and Madeleine did not survive, and the couple remained childless.
1815
The fall of the Empire strips Ingres of his patrons
After the fall of Napoleon's empire and the Congress of Vienna, the French living in Rome left the city in droves. Ingres, dependent on a narrow circle of patrons, could no longer earn as he used to.
1815–1820
Portrait drawings of tourists to make a living
With the French administration gone, painting commissions were rare, and Ingres supplemented his income with pencil portraits of wealthy tourists, chiefly English. To visitors who asked whether this was where the man who draws the little portraits lived, he answered irritably: “No, the man who lives here is a painter!”
