samarasage: (loquaciousconnoisseur) Interior of Ingres’ Studio with Lost Painting of Madame Ingres, c. 1852 Désiré-François Millet | Daguerreotype | Musée Ingres, Montauban A fascinating daguerreotype taken by pioneer photographer Désiré François Millet in around 1852 shows a lost painting of Ingres’ first wife Madeleine Chapelle, who had died several years before.  It is an intimate, personal nude portrait; certainly something not for public display. The photograph was unknown until it was found in 1993 in Ingres’ desk in the Ingres Museum in Montauban, France.
