Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867), St. John the Baptist (c. 1820).
A Neoclassic painter who railed against Romanticism, Ingres considered himself a conservator of the Classic tradition. Biblical themes were overshadowed by Classical subject matter and portraits.
Theodore Baierl (1881-1932), St. John the Baptist (c. 1920).
Baierl’s sensibilities were more in tune with the Renaissance than the turn of the XIXth and XXth Centuries. An adherent to the Munich Secessionists, he idealized the past in both subject and composition.
