This 25-minute-long documentary, produced in 1999 by the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., focuses on one type of painting by the superb 19th-century French painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. This video spans his 60-year career, during which Ingres reluctantly painted about 60 portraits, even though he felt they kept him from painting what he considered his best work. He also completed huge historical paintings, allegorical works, and nudes, which are also mentioned. After many years of hard work and many moves between France and Italy, Ingres became known as the leader of the classical movement. His portraits ranged from intimate sketches of friends and musicians such as Paganini to ladies of society, as well as political and social leaders. At a young age, after working in the studio of Jacques Louis David, he painted Napoleon twice, once as consul and then as emperor. This program includes a broad array of his work, with two self-portraits from early and late in his career. His dexterity with fabrics and gestures was complemented by his skill at capturing character. He also had a sense of humor; in one portrait of a society beauty, he signed his name on a calling card stuck in the frame of the mirror behind her. This program gives an eloquent overview of the artist's work and the period in which he lived, and will deservedly appeal to a broad audience. --Anne Barclay Morgan
