The story of The Valpinçon Bather
Ingres painted the picture in Rome in 1808 while studying at the French Academy, where it was first titled Seated Woman; it later took the name of one of its nineteenth-century owners. It has been in the Louvre since 1879. Ingres returned to this back view of a bather several times, ending with the central figure in The Turkish Bath of 1863.

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was a French Neoclassical painter. Ingres was profoundly influenced by past artistic traditions and aspired to become the guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style. Although he considered himself a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, it is his portraits, both painted and drawn, that are recognized as his greatest legacy. His expressive distortions of form and space made him an important precursor of modern art, influencing Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and other modernists.
