Comment on Jean-Marie-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) and Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844)
In our doctoral dissertation (“Ingres and Sculpture” by Apollonia Stackler, directed by Barthélémy Jobert at Sorbonne Université & Centre André Chastel, defense planned in July 2021), we make the point that his project to devise a sculptural way of painting changed the definition of history painting and possibly the course of art by nurturing the possibility of autotelism as early as the XIXth century.
