Further details
JEAN-AUGUSTE-DOMINIQUE INGRES, COUPLE IN MEDIEVAL COSTUMES, GRAPHITE, SIGNED
A couple in Medieval costume stroll through a garden, with another couple chatting behind them. Evoking the troubadour themes fashionable in the early 19th century, it is highly likely that this scene illustrates Faust and Marguerite in Martha’s garden, an episode from Goethe’s tragedy, published in 1808, that inspired so many Nazarene artists close to Ingres, such as Peter von Cornelius, whom he may have met while in Rome. A graphite drawing of the same subject, dated 1811, is in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main (inv. 337; see Ingres 1780-1867, exhib. cat., Paris, Musée du Louvre, 2006, p. 154, fig. 109).
