Le Violon d'Ingres
In the personal archive cases bequeathed to his hometown, among the thousands of preparatory sketches for his paintings, the artist J.A.D. Ingres deliberately left a study violin. This modest instrument, worn by the years, is the symbol of a lost childhood, a period when he hesitated between the brush and the bow, as his father had trained him in both disciplines. This feminine-shaped instrument is the touching reflection of an artist who was controversial in his time, because he was a classicist among the romantics, but also an artist in search of the absolute, whose explorations influenced even the modernists: Picasso, Matisse, and Man Ray.
