Jean Dominique Auguste Ingres <ref name="term_75112" />
<p> A great French painter, born at Montauban; studied in Paris; in 1806 went to Rome, and 14 years after to Florence, but became professor of [[Fine]] Arts at the [[Academy]] in [[Paris]] in 1824; wounded by hostile criticisms he left Paris for Rome again in 1834, where he became Director of the French Academy in Rome; in 1841 he returned to Paris, where he died; he followed his master David in his choice of classical subjects, but his work met with varied reception, now favourable, now the reverse; the "Portrait of Cherubini," and other pictures, however, won for him great admiration in his later days; he was made a Grand [[Officer]] of the [[Legion]] of [[Honour]] (1781-1867). </p>
