About the piece
Commissioned in 1826 for the Louvre, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' 'The Apotheosis of Homer' is a definitive work of French Neoclassicism. The central figure of the blind poet is seated before an Ionic temple, receiving a laurel wreath from a winged Victory. Surrounding him is an expertly composed crowd of figures including Raphael, Dante, and Shakespeare, symbolizing the continuity of classical tradition and artistic genius through the centuries.
