Exhibitions devoted to Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) do not come along very often. The prospect of this one, organized at the Chantilly Domain where five major paintings by the artist are held, is therefore a welcome addition. Yet the result is a mixed bag.
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Portrait de Mme Duvaucey, 1807, oil on canvas, 76 x 59 cm/29.9 x 23.2 in, Chantilly, musée Condé.
