Semicircle-shaped painting of crowd of nude figures surrounded by trees

A large crowd of light-skinned male and female figures is gathered in a grassy clearing. Most figures are adults, but some are children. Every figure is nude with the exception of four women in dresses and one robed man. The figures sit and stand among fruit trees and flower bushes. Some figures wear flower crowns, eat fruit, or play instruments. Two winged figures fly on either side of the scene. The figures are surrounded by trees, and tall cliffs are in the background. This painted scene is arch-shaped. The panel outside the scene is a mottled golden color.

Gallery Text

This is a reduced version, with some variations, of one of two large mural paintings that Ingres completed for the Duc de Luynes’s castle in Dampierre between 1843 and 1847. Depicting the Golden Age, it refers to the mythical past described by ancient poets as the utopian existence humans first enjoyed after being created by the gods. Ingres outlined the iconography of his composition in a letter: “A heap of beautiful sloths! . . . The men of this generation knew nothing of old age. They lived for a long time and [were] always beautiful. . . . All this in a very varied nature, à la Raphael.” Ingres further invoked Raphael through some of the figures’ poses, in the arched shape of his picture, and by painting the mural on plaster, thereby inviting the comparison between his own work and Raphael’s famous frescoed murals in the papal apartments of the Vatican.
