Editor's Take:
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was the great defender of classical line in French painting. He trained under Jacques-Louis David and spent many years in Italy. His portraits are cool, precise and full of detail. His nudes, such as La Grande Odalisque, stretch anatomy for beauty. He was the great rival of the Romantic painter Delacroix. In his eighties he painted The Turkish Bath. Picasso and Matisse admired him.
