Guillaume-Joseph Roques

Ingres entered the Academy of Toulouse in 1791 under Roques. He was a prolific artist and one of the most notable exponents of neoclassicism outside of the centre of the movement in Paris, though later in life he tended towards romanticism. His most notable paintings include a copy of Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat (1793) and a series of works covering the life of the Virgin Mary, painted from 1810 to 1820 for the choir of the church of Notre-Dame de la Daurade in Toulouse. • Illustration — The Death of Marat by Guillaume-Joseph Roques, 1793, with a knife lying on the floor at lower left • Illustration — L'intérieur de la chapelle de l'Inquisition, 1822 Musée du Vieux Toulouse • Illustration — La mission de 1819 dans la cathédrale Saint-Etienne Musée du Vieux Toulouse • Illustration — Bergers de la vallée de Campan, 1835. • Illustration — Nativite de la Vierge, 1810.
