Abstract

Spanning 45 years, the fascinating personal and artistic relationship between friends Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Luigi Calamatta (Civitavecchia 1801 – Milan 1869) is emblematic of the relationship between a painter and the engraver of his work in early nineteenth century France. In this study we review the history of the Vow of Louis XIII engraved by Calamatta after the homonymous painting by Ingres. Using so far unpublished documents, recent discoveries and analysis of critical success, we address a major issue that arose in the 1830’s about reproductive printmaking (debated among others by George Sand, a friend of Calamatta’s): the opposition between faithful imitation and free interpretation of the artwork.
