The Dream of Ossian by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, 1813

This is a reproduction of Jean Ingres’ “The Dream of Ossian” of 1813.  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.  The Dream of Ossian reflects the contemporary obsession with the literary bogus Homer of the North, yet the images are striking  The original painting is in the Musee Ingres, Montauban, France.
