Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres painted this startlingly direct portrait of French sculptor Paul Lemoyne (1784–1873) in Rome around 1810, not long after the latter’s arrival in the Italian capital, then a hub for European artists.1On Lemoyne, see Antoinette Le Normand, “Paul Lemoyne, un sculpteur français à Rome au XIXe siècle,” Revue de l’Art, no. 36 (1977): 27–41. Le Normand established the date of Lemoyne’s arrival in Rome, which serves as the basis for the present dating of Ingres’s portrait. See also Hans Naef, Die Bildniszeichnungen von J.-A.-D. Ingres (Bern: Benteli, 1979), 3:301–11. Their paths probably crossed at the Villa Medici, the seat of the French Academy in Rome, which was home to a lively community of artists, writers, and intellectuals. Ingres, who was awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome in history painting in 1801 but deferred his departure from Paris for some five years, arrived in October 1806.

Students at the French Academy were encouraged to execute portraits of one another, a practice that Ingres’s teacher, Jacques Louis David (1748–1825), also promoted among his students as an additional opportunity to work from a live model. Etienne Jean Delécluze (1781–1863), one of Ingres’s colleagues in David’s studio in Paris, recalled that they were regularly expected “to copy a head, for which each student was required by the rules to pose himself, or to provide a hired model at his own expense.”2“. . . copier une tête, pour laquelle chaque élève était tenu par les règlements de poser lui-même, ou de fournir un modèle mercenaire à ses frais”; E. J. Delécluze, Louis David, Son école et son temps (Paris: Didier, 1855), 53. Such works functioned as both academic exercises and tokens of friendship that the young artists often exchanged among themselves. In 1800, while still under David’s tutelage, Ingres painted a portrait of the young scientist Pierre François Bernier, a fellow native of Montauban, whom he probably encountered in David’s studio during Bernier’s brief sojourn in Paris that year (Fig. 1).3On this work, see Gary Tinterow and Philip Conisbee, eds., Portraits by Ingres: Image of an Epoch, exh. cat. (New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1999), cat. no. 1, pp. 44–46. Its bust-length format accords with the “head studies” that Delécluze described as a requisite component of training in David’s studio. Similarly, Ingres’s Portrait of a Man with an Earring (Fig. 2), which is nearly identical in size and format to the portrait of Bernier, has been variously identified as portraying a fellow artist or friend, and as an early self-portrait. The latter is supported by the work’s unusual inscription: “Moi / Ingres pinxit 1804.”4See Vincent Pomarède et al., Ingres, 1780–1867 (Paris: Gallimard, 2006), 131. In this work, Ingres’s handling is much freer and looser, anticipating the informal “friendship” portraits that he would paint in Italy.

After he reached Rome two years later, Ingres apparently had no interest in fraternizing with his fellow pensioners at the Villa Medici. He wasted little time in summarily dismissing them, with the exception of two artists who were also students of David: “As to the gentlemen who are my colleagues, except for Granger and Odevaere, who is easy to live with, apart from his pretensions, the rest make absolutely no difference to me.”5“Quant à messieurs mes camarades, excepté Granger et Odevaere, qui est doux à vivre, à part ses pretensions, le reste m’est de la dernière indifference.” Pomarède et al., Ingres, 1780–1867, 150. Instead, he preferred the company of outsiders, gravitating in particular toward sculptors; his father was a sculptor, and Ingres himself was interested in the medium, which he characterized as “almost always stronger than painting.”6“. . . toujours presque plus forte que la peinture.” Pomarède et al., Ingres, 1780–1867, 150. Around 1810, he portrayed one of his friends, architect Jean-Baptiste Desdéban (1781–1833) (Fig. 3), the winner of the 1806 Prix de Rome in architecture and a recent arrival at the Villa Medici. In its freedom of execution, especially the broadly brushed shirt and the visible outlines of the figure, the portrait possesses an informal, sketchlike appearance, underscored by the large areas of exposed red ground. Only Desdéban’s face, shown in stark profile, is rendered in a more finished manner.

The portrait of Lemoyne is also loosely painted, suggesting that Ingres executed it around the same time as that of Desdéban.7Until recently, this work had been dated to ca. 1817–1819. However, Philip Conisbee convincingly dates it to ca. 1810–1811 in his catalogue entry in Tinterow and Conisbee, Portraits by Ingres, 130–33. In fact, the two paintings appear in consecutive order in a list that Ingres made of his works later in his career.8Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, “Notes de mes ouvrages,” ca. 1847–1850, in Cahiers d’Ingres, cahier 10, folio 23 (private collection, New York). Ingres’s close focus on Lemoyne and the directness of the sitter’s gaze evoke the subject’s psyche in a way that his profile portrait of Desdéban does not. Lemoyne’s heavily shadowed eyes convey an air of brooding intensity that would not be out of place in Romantic portraiture. The presentation of the sitter—his shirt collar carelessly unbuttoned beneath a loosely worn overcoat—and the freely applied paint capture the immediacy of the moment in which it was painted. The scumbledscumble: A thin layer of opaque or semi-opaque paint that partially covers and modifies the underlying paint. handling of the background, a characteristic of David’s portraits from the 1790s, and the seemingly random, unblended brushstrokes on the lapel of his overcoat suggest that the portrait was rapidly executed, directly from life and likely in a single session. Several visible pentimentipentimento (pl: pentimenti): A change to the composition made by the artist that is visible on the paint surface. Often with time, pentimenti become more visible as the upper layers of paint become more transparent with age.

The underdrawing can be made from dry materials, such as graphite or charcoal, or wet materials, such as ink or paint. further attest to the spontaneity with which the portrait was rendered. Notably, Ingres enlarged the left collar, as the paint visible beneath its outer edges reveals. He also raised the placement of the sitter’s chin; traces of flesh-colored paint are visible just below his jawline. Ingres left unpainted areas of the opaque white groundground layer: An opaque preparatory layer applied to the support, either commercially or by the artist, to prevent absorption of the paint into the canvas or panel. See also priming layer., particularly evident in the lower portion of his shirt. The black paint used to delineate its pleats was fluidly applied wet-into-wetwet-into-wet: An oil painting technique which involves blending of colors on the picture surface., a technique that Ingres also used to render the highlights and shadows of his neck.9I am indebted to Mary R. Schafer, NAMA paintings conservator, for her technical notes of January 11, 2010, which form the basis of my discussion of Ingres’s technique. As in the portrait of Desdéban, however, the sitter’s face is more carefully painted, with greater attention to modeling and surface finish. These works, both in their informality and their freedom of handling, depart from the detail and polished finish characteristic of Ingres’s commissioned portraits.

Lemoyne, after three failed bids to win the Prix de Rome in sculpture, funded his own trip to Italy in late 1810 and became a regular at the Villa Medici. Along with a number of its pensioners, he was invited to participate in the decoration of the French church of Santissima Trinità dei Monti in Rome; before the project was abandoned in 1822, Lemoyne executed a plaster model of the Virgin and Child (before 1817), and Ingres painted Christ Giving the Keys to Saint Peter as an altarpiece (1820; Musée Ingres, Montauban).

Ingres’s portrait of Lemoyne attests to their friendship during their time in Rome, and the painter presented him with the work sometime before moving to Florence in 1819. Although it is possible that the two exchanged artworks, as was often the practice among the artists in David’s studio, there is no evidence of a gift from Lemoyne to Ingres. Ingres apparently also gave Lemoyne his portrait of their mutual friend, Desdéban. Subsequently, their friendship cooled, which Lemoyne blamed on Ingres’s wife, Madeleine Ingres, as he confided to a fellow artist in 1822: “I’ve definitely broken with him, or rather with his wife. . . . As for Ingres, I admire his talent, but I’d doff my hat more readily to his works than to the man himself.”10Tinterow and Consibee, Portraits by Ingres, 132.

Over the next decade, Ingres established his reputation in France as the guardian of the classical tradition, with works such as The Apotheosis of Homer (1827; Musée du Louvre, Paris), and he was named professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1829, confirmation of his stature in the French art establishment. In 1835, Ingres returned to Rome as the newly appointed director of the French Academy. He renewed his friendship with Lemoyne, who, in the intervening years, had married and built a solid practice as a sculptor in Rome, executing commissions throughout the city, notably monuments to the French artists Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) and Claude Lorrain (1604–1682), completed in 1837 and 1840, respectively. Ingres turned his attention to portraiture, in the form of intimate drawings of close friends made as tokens of friendship, unlike the earlier drawings of tourists that he had done to supplement his income during his years as a pensioner in Rome. He charmingly referred to such drawings as “souvenirs.”11For a discussion of Ingres’s “portraits intimes,” see Uwe Fleckner, Abbild und Abstraktion: Die Kunst des Porträts im Werk von Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (Mainz: Philipp von Zabern, 1995), 113–23, and Christopher Riopelle’s entry in Tinterow and Conisbee, Portraits by Ingres, 327–28. Among them is a portrait of Lemoyne, which Ingres inscribed with the dedication, “Ingres à son ami Lemoyne” (Fig. 4). Here, Lemoyne, nearly sixty years old, in his buttoned-up vest and tightly tied cravat, projects an air of bourgeois propriety far removed from his informal image as a bohemian young artist in Ingres’s earlier painted portrait.

Both the present work as well as Ingres’s portrait of Desdéban figured in the art collection that Lemoyne assembled over the course of some five decades as an expatriate French artist in Rome. At an auction in Paris in 1865, Lemoyne sold his collection, which included four works by Ingres; Lemoyne’s portrait was acquired by another artist, Jean Gigoux (1806–1894). Lemoyne died eight years later, at the age of ninety. In his memoirs, Gigoux later recalled the angry outcry of the eighty-five-year-old Ingres upon hearing that Lemoyne had sold his portrait, which had been his gift to Lemoyne: “The poor man has sold himself!”12“Le malheureux s’est vendu lui-même!”; Jean Gigoux, Causeries sur les artistes de mon temps, 3rd ed. (Paris: Calmann Lévy, 1885), 85.

With confident, lively brushwork, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) executed Portrait of the Sculptor Paul Lemoyne quickly and likely over the course of a single painting session. Although the painting is glue-linedlining: A procedure used to reinforce a weakened canvas that involves adhering a second fabric support using adhesive, most often a glue-paste mixture, wax, or synthetic adhesive. and its outermost edges are covered by brown paper, x-radiographyX-ray radiography (also referred to as x-radiography or radiography): Radiography is an examination tool analogous to the use of X-rays in medicine whereby denser components of a painted composition can be recorded as an inverted shadow image cast on film or a digital X-ray imaging plate from a source such as an X-ray tube. The method has been used for more than a century and is most effective with dense pigments incorporating metallic elements such as lead or zinc. It can reveal artist changes, underlying compositions, and information concerning the artwork’s construction and condition. The resulting image is called an x-radiograph or radiograph. It differs from the uses of X-ray spectrometry in being dependent on the density of the paint to absorb X-rays before they reach the film or image plate and being non-specific as to which elements are responsible for the resulting shadow image. confirms that the original support is a plain-weaveplain weave: A basic textile weave in which one weft thread alternates over and under the warp threads.

When the paint surface is studied under the stereomicroscope and with infrared reflectographyinfrared reflectography (IRR): A form of infrared imaging that exploits the behavior of painting materials at wavelengths beyond those accessible to infrared photography. These advantages sometimes include a continuing increase in the transparency of pigments beyond wavelengths accessible to infrared photography (i.e, beyond 1,000 nanometers), rendering underdrawing more clearly. The resulting image is called an infrared reflectogram. Devices that came into common use in the 1980s such as the infrared vidicon effectively revealed these features but suffered from lack of sharpness and uneven response. Vidicons continue to be used out to 2,200 nanometers but several newer pixelated detectors including indium gallium arsenide and indium antimonide array detectors offer improvements. All of these devices are optimally used with filters constraining their response to those parts of the infrared spectrum that reveal the most within the constraints of the palette used for a given painting. They can be used for transmitted light imaging as well as in reflection., there is no sign of an underdrawingunderdrawing: A drawn or painted sketch beneath the paint layer. The underdrawing can be made from dry materials, such as graphite or charcoal, or wet materials, such as ink or paint., either drawn or painted. However, a few thick, underlying paint strokes—a short, horizontal stroke at Lemoyne’s chest, and diagonal strokes at the bottom center of his shirt—may point to a few guiding marks used to position the figure on the canvas (Fig. 6).

Ingres initially developed the composition with washes of paint in varying warm tonalities, and his sketch-like handling of the portrait allows many of these first applications to be visible and play an integral role in the final painting (Fig. 7). Above these preliminary layers, Ingres further developed the face with thin paint, lightly crisscrossed brushwork, and some wet-over-wetwet-over-wet: An oil painting technique which involves drawing a stroke of one color across the wet paint of another color. blending of colors. While the brushwork of these uppermost layers is noticeable on close examination, the overall effect at a distance is one of subtle transitions and diffuse boundaries.

In contrast to the careful rendering of the sitter’s face, other parts of the composition stand out in terms of their bold, obvious brushwork and the immediacy of the paint application. Figure 8 illustrates the artist’s efficient, painterly depiction of Lemoyne’s neck, which is directly painted and composed of only a few quick strokes, applied wet-over-wet. In the background, the energetic motion of the artist’s brush was captured in the first lay-in of a dilute green wash. Striations were left in the paint from the individual bristles of a 3/4-inch wide brush, and stippled textures punctuate the end of each stroke (Fig. 9). Ingres produced a similar tactile quality in the orange-brown collar of the overcoat, applying an initial wash made up of vigorous zigzagging brushwork and stippled textures (Fig. 10).2The backgrounds of Torse d’homme (1800; École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris) and Étude d’homme (1808; Musée Granet, Aix-en-Provence) are similarly constructed, and the brushwork of the overcoat lapel on the Nelson-Atkins portrait is comparable to the brushwork found throughout the clothing of Jean-François Gilibert (1804–1805; Musée Ingres, Montauban). Contours and highlights of the collar were defined by opaque yellow-brown paint, including a long undulating stroke that marks the lower edge. Lower sections of the overcoat were broadly indicated using a 1/2-inch wide brush and diagonal, sweeping strokes.

In his construction of the white shirt, Ingres loosely established the shadows with washes of gray, many of which remain visible today (see the shadows of the collar in Figure 8). Bright white paint was carefully added around existing painted forms, and above this layer, the pleats of the shirt were executed with numerous parallel, undulating strokes of gray, applied wet-over-wet with a narrow 1/8-inch round brush. The gray paint was most likely thinned with diluent, based on its fluid, feathery appearance under the stereomicroscope (Fig. 11). Conversely, three strokes of bright white paint were drawn downward at the center of the bottom edge, forming pleats atop the gray shadow (Fig. 12). Throughout the shirt, glimpses of the ground layer are visible at the edges of compositional elements, and a larger passage of exposed ground can be seen near the bottom edge (see left side of Figure 12).

On top of the initial background wash, Ingres applied a lighter gray-green scumblescumble: A thin layer of opaque or semi-opaque paint that partially covers and modifies the underlying paint. around the sitter’s head and along the proper left lapel of the overcoat, creating greater opacity and concealing the prominent brushwork of the lower green wash (Fig. 13). This overlying scumble partially covers dark brown paint associated with the initial lay-in of the hair, which was wide-ranging in its application. Overlapping the paint of the background, Ingres added loose, curving strokes of rich black paint to define the sitter’s hair and sideburns. He created a few additional curls in the sideburns by incising into the wet paint with a tool, perhaps with the end of his paintbrush handle, producing a number of curving sgraffitosgraffito (pl: sgraffiti): An Italian term meaning “scratched,” in which a compositional design or decoration is created using a sharp tool to scrape into the wet medium (paint, plaster, glaze, slip, etc) and reveal contrasting underlying layers. marks (Fig. 14).3Ingres may have used a similar technique in three other portraits. He appears to have scraped into the wet paint to define the jacket of Jean-Baptiste Desdéban (Fig. 3), the floral pattern on the lower right of Jean-Pierre-François Gilbert (1804–1805; Musée Ingres, Montauban), and a few curls of hair on Tête de Boileau (1827; Musée Ingres, Montauban).

Several adjustments were made to the composition over the course of its execution. At first Lemoyne’s proper right shirt collar was positioned upright, equal in height to that of his cheekbone; the faint pentimentopentimento (pl: pentimenti): A change to the composition made by the artist that is visible on the paint surface. Often with time, pentimenti become more visible as the upper layers of paint become more transparent with age. Italian for "repentance" or "a change of mind." associated with this artist change can be seen under normal lighting conditions (Fig. 15). In addition, Ingres shifted the position of the proper right pupil and made slight corrections to the contours of the chin and ear, all of which are evident in the reflected infrared digital photographreflected infrared digital photograph: An infrared image produced in the 700–1000 nanometer range, typically captured using an infrared-modified digital camera.

A fine diagonal line was incised into the ground layer, beginning above the proper right lapel of the overcoat and continuing 16.5 centimeters to the upper background (Fig. 17). A few horizontal incised marks are also evident at the top edge, but, collectively, these features now covered by the green wash of the background seem unrelated to the composition.
