Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, better known as Dominique Ingres, (Montauban, August 29, 1780-Paris, January 14, 1867), was a French painter. Ingres is not, strictly speaking, neoclassical or academic, but a fervent defender of drawing. At the same time classic, romantic and realistic, Ingres is a clear exponent of romanticism in terms of themes, abstract lines and colorful inks, some of his works are framed in the so-called "troubadour style". inspired by the Greek and Gothic aesthetic ideal, as well as in the miniatures of Fouquet's hour books.

Besides playing as second violinist in the orchestra of the Capitol of Toulouse, he had the opportunity to play in several private recitals organized by Paganini
