  • This is part of our ‘Talks for All’ series. Chris Riopelle, the Neil Westreich Curator of Post 1800 Paintings, discusses Ingres’s ‘Madame Moitessier’. The portrait is influenced by the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. Ingres believed that portraiture was a less elevated art form than history painting. When first asked by Moitessier in 1844 to paint his wife, Ingres refused. On meeting her, he was struck by her beauty and agreed. The painting was left unfinished, and was finally completed in 1856.

    This was an absolute gem of a talk about Ingres! I loved learning about what the artist was experiencing in life while he painted this portrait. The little details were an homage to the master of details. I never noticed the little kissing angel before, well done and thank you!

    Monsieur Riopelle is a great speaker. Love that he went into great length about the background stories and the nature of Ingres (who knew that he was a procrastinator and he was "mad" according to David). He goes beyond to just what is on the canvas (which we all can see. So don't just point to the fact that she is wearing a flowery dress). Please have him on to do talks again.

Great nuggets of significant historical value I was previously unaware of were brought forth by Mr. Riopelle in a clear and understandable manner. I look forward to additional uploads of the 'Talks for All Series' as they are the next best thing to actually being there. Bravo and encore, please!

  • @BIZEB

    Again, what an extraordinarily clear example of the role geometry played on these painters' composition. Ingres puts a major diagonal going up to the carré (or square), guiding and organizing the entire painting. Curiously, he took inspiration from one of the best surviving greco-roman examples of such a use of geometry in composition, with a stark demonstration of cross diagonals and vertical in the middle.
    I am still hoping that a curator will come along and start tackling these subjects more pertaining to the actual craft of the painter than just their products' history.
    Nevertheless, another great talk.

    The amount of detailed paintings he has done in a year for example is not possible, even if he were a fast painter. With all of life's everyday issues, he could not have painted so many paintings so easily. Could he have sold out, like others..? Something doesn't add there.

    Around 2004, I saw an Ingres show at the Louvre. It contained some of his early portraits of society ladies. I found them surprisingly amateurish looking. Now I guess I know why. The mature works were astonishing and sublime.

  • @sintes88
    @sintes88 5 лет назад +9

    A decent talk but there were a few inconsistencies which I will point out below:
    - Giving the impression that most paintings were finished in less than a year is very misleading as there are a lot of exceptions. Every artist worked differently, every subject was different, often artists painted more than a few picture at a time etc.
    - Ingres and Delacroix were most definitely not friends - in fact the hostility and rivalry between them is very well documented in documents of the time, as well as Delacroix's journal. It is true however that from time to time they had admiration for one another's work.
    - And lastly Ingres's name was mispronounced during the whole talk. There's a specific French r that must be pronounced at the end which I never heard.
