DESCRIPTION:
"Wonderful book" according to Lisa A Blyth. I am so pleased I purchased this ebook. The quality of each drawing is excellent. I use an iPad and just tap on a drawing to switch it to its proper perspective; then the picture can be enlarged. It can also be moved around to get a closer look at a particular part of a drawing. This format is an excellent way to study these magnificent works of art.. Amos Kermisch said Not worth it.. Unfortunately, the image quality is too poor to enjoy Ingres' drawings.. apple said Five Stars. Wonderful.
His earliest drawings, such as the Portrait of a Man (1797) already show a suavity of outline and an extraordinary control of the parallel hatchings which model the forms. Drawings made in preparation for paintings, are more varied in size and treatment than are the portrait drawings. Ingres's style was formed early in life and changed comparatively little. Ingres drew his portrait drawings on wove paper, which provided a smooth surface very different from the ribbed surface of laid paper, which is, nevertheless, sometimes referred to today as "Ingres paper". He also drew a number of landscape views while in Rome but, with the exception of the small tondo Raphael's Casino, he painted no pure landscapes.. While a disproportionate number of them date from his difficult early years in Italy, he continued to produce portrait drawings of his friends until the end of his life. His portrait drawings, of which about 450 are extant, are today among his most admired works
