The Vow of Louis XIII
by INGRES, Jean-Auguste-Dominique, Oil on canvas, 421 x 262 cm
Ingres continued to paint in the Neoclassical style throughout his career, although the style came under attack from younger contemporaries like G�ricault or Delacroix. The Vow of Louis XIII is a kind of neoclassical votive painting. In it Ingres adapted whole passages of Raphael’s Madonna di Foligno, but he also borrowed forms that were developed by the Carraccis.
