The catalogue raisonné of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) gathers 325 paintings organized chronologically, all reproduced. This publication has not only become a reference in the study of the artist’s œuvre, but was the first catalogue of paintings, and the first volume published outside of the series “L’Art français.” A section titled “Éloge d’Ingres” traces Ingres’ long, successful career and follows the evolution of his work, rooted in religious and classical culture, but which also embraced sensual portraits and nudes.
