About the piece
Created in 1818, this work by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres exemplifies the Troubadour style, which romanticized the French past and the Renaissance. The scene depicts a legendary encounter where King Francis I attends the deathbed of his friend and polymath, Leonardo da Vinci. Ingres uses a rich, dramatic palette of crimson and gold to elevate the intimacy of the moment into a grand historical narrative.
