Ingres. Male torso, ~1800.
This is my favorite painting in the Musée Ingres. It's not only the allure of the model that attracts me, but the colors and ideal build and styling of the period, evidence that bodies morph in temporally bound imaginations, subjected to the vicissitudes of fashion. This is a neoclassical body, or rather the real body of a man sieved through neoclassical values. Ideal human beauty is relative. Bodies have not changed. Our conceptions of them do. #Painting #Ingres
