Ingres painted historical and mythological subjects, yet he became especially celebrated as a master of portraiture. His paintings are distinguished by their flowing, soft lines and sculptural forms — qualities most striking in his nudes, where he blends the clarity of classical beauty with a refined, sensual elegance. Among his most famous works are Grande Odalisque, Napoleon I on His Imperial Throne, and The Turkish Bath. Ingres’s paintings hold a central place in the world’s major museum collections, including the Louvre and the Hermitage. Art historians praise his unmatched technique and impeccable taste, which make his œuvre a universal embodiment of the classical ideal.
