Abstract
The careers of Paul Delaroche and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres touch at many points. One of the earliest, and the first public occasion, was the Paris Salon of 1824, where both men exhibited important paintings — Joan of Arc in Prison and the Vow of Louis XIII (figures 1 and 2). The artists were a generation apart—Delaroche was 27 years old and Ingres 43 that year—yet both were addressing the same problem, how to represent history. Negotiating the meaning of the past was a central concern of European culture, particularly in France, in the decades following the French Revolution and Napoleonic Empire. I want to compare the different ways that Delaroche and Ingres visualized the historical imagination of their day, beginning with works from the 1820s, a defining moment in each of their careers.
