This room continues the display of French art of the
Neo-Classical period (late 18th - early 19th centuries), represented
by Sappho and Phaon by Jacques Louis David, the leader of that
tendency. It also contains paintings by Pierre Narcisse Guerin -
Morpheus and Iris and Sappho on the Cliff at Leukas, and
Pierre Paul Prud'hon - Innocence Preferring Love to Wealth and
The Assumption. The masterpiece of the collection is a portrait
of Count Guryev by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, a pupil of David. |
