It depicts Louis-Fran\u00e7ois Bertin (1766\u20131841), a writer, art collector and director of the pro-royalist Journal des d\u00e9bats. Having achieved acclaim as a history painter, Ingres accepted portrait commissions with reluctance, regarding them as a distraction. The painting had a prolonged genesis; he agonised over the pose and made several preparatory sketches. The final work presents Bertin as a personification of the commercially minded leaders of the liberal reign of Louis Philippe I, emanating a restless energy. He is physically imposing and self-assured but his real life personality shines though\u00a0\u2013 warm, wry and engaging to those who had earned his trust. The portrait is an unflinchingly realistic depiction of aging; Ingres emphasises the furrowed skin and thinning hair of an overweight man who maintains his resolve and determination. Although Bertin&#8217;s family worried that the painting might been seen as a caricature, it is widely regarded as Ingres&#8217; finest male portrait and has been at the Mus\u00e9e du Louvre since 1897.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wikipedia article of the day for June 11, 2016 is Portrait of Monsieur Bertin.
