List of paintings by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

This is an incomplete list of paintings by the French neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867). Although he considered himself a classicist in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David and had a longstanding rivalry with Eugène Delacroix, some of his later works included elements of romanticism and orientalism. Despite his desire to be seen as a great history painter, traditionally viewed as the most important genre of painting, it is his portraits, both painted and drawn, rather than his history paintings 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.
