Painting of embracing couple in room with paintings

A light-skinned woman sits on the lap of a light-skinned man inside a dim room. The woman wears a green velvet off-shoulder dress and a yellow head scarf. Her brown eyes gaze at the viewer. The man, who has shoulder-length light brown hair, a black cap, and a black cape with red detail, embraces the woman. He looks over his shoulder at a canvas on the right. It shows a lightly drawn image of the woman he holds. Behind the couple, another painting of a woman leans against the wall. A window on the left opens onto a cityscape.

Gallery Text

This composition, the first of six versions, articulates Ingres’s conception of the art of painting. For him, the oeuvre of the Renaissance artist Raphael was the pinnacle of artistic achievement. Here Ingres draws on Raphael’s relationship with the woman known as “La Fornarina” (the Little Baker), which, according to the biographer Giorgio Vasari, led to the young artist’s death from an excess of lovemaking. Raphael has just sketched the famous portrait of her, and his beloved subject sits on his knee. But Raphael has eyes only for his own creation, which, like Ingres’s representation of its model, meets the viewer’s gaze. This triangle of glances is complicated by the presence of the Virgin in Raphael’s Madonna of the Chair, seen against the back wall, where she resembles the artist’s lover.
