Ingres was the leader of the classical school and a prime advocate of the superiority of drawing. He nonetheless transcended academic rules by daring to deform the female body. He acquired the status of an avant-garde, even revolutionary figure with his return to Poussin, Raphael, and the Italian primitives, which ran counter to the eclecticism of fashionable painters.
