Portrait of Amédée-David de Pastoret (1826) by Ingres


Amédée-David, the Comte de Pastoret (1823-1826) is a portrait by French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. The oil on canvas painting depicts Count Amédée-David de Pastoret at 32 years old, wearing a medal of the Order of the Legion of Honor. [1]

The portrait shows Amédée-David de Pastoret, a conseiller d'État and member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. He was a close relation of the painter and commissioned several works, such as his The Dauphin's Entry Into Paris . It was painted the same year as Ingres' portrait of Madame Marcotte de Sainte-Marie - both works were badly received, precipitating a six-year period in which the artist produced no paintings. His next portrait would be his 1832 Portrait of Monsieur Bertin .

Still in his collection on his death, it was inherited by his widow and then their daughter the Marquise de Rougé du Plessis-Bellière. In 1884 it appeared in a catalogue of the marquise's collection at Château de Moreuil (Somme). After her death it was sold in 1897 as lot 85 in sale 4 on 10 and 11 May, where it was bought by the galerie Durand-Ruel. It was then acquired for 8745 francs by Edgar Degas and on his death it was sold off in 1918 in Paris. Selling for 90,000 francs, it was bought by the banker and collector David David-Weill, who then sold it to the Wildenstein Gallery, who in turn sold it to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1971, where it now hangs.

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was a French Neoclassical painter. Ingres was profoundly influenced by past artistic traditions and aspired to become the guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style. Although he considered himself a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, it is his portraits, both painted and drawn, that are recognized as his greatest legacy. His expressive distortions of form and space made him an important precursor of modern art, influencing Picasso, Matisse and other modernists.

Théodore Chassériau was a Dominican-born French Romantic painter noted for his portraits, historical and religious paintings, allegorical murals, and Orientalist images inspired by his travels to Algeria. Early in his career he painted in a Neoclassical style close to that of his teacher Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, but in his later works he was strongly influenced by the Romantic style of Eugène Delacroix. He was a prolific draftsman, and made a suite of prints to illustrate Shakespeare's Othello. The portrait he painted at the age of 15 of Prosper Marilhat makes Chassériau the youngest painter exhibited at the Louvre museum.
