Academician / French / Greco-Roman / Neoclassical / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of Jean Ingres’ “Romulus, Conqueror of Acron” of 1812. Ingres was born in Montauban in 1780 and at the age of sixteen he went to Paris to study under David. He won the Grand Prix in 1801. He went to Rome in 1807 having secured a following in the art world. He continued to mature and gather a greater gathering until his death in 1867. Romulus, Conqueror of Acron, was created as a large painting for the salon of Napoleon I. It recalls the earliest and mythological history of Rome and reflects the Napoleonic obsession with all things Roman and Classical. The original painting is in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Alexander apparently appropriated this courtesan of Darius III for his own pleasures. He outlived the Conqueror and lived out his days as an honored member of the court of Ptolemy the Great of Egypt.
