IMT: Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière
This week’s inspiration on the Inspire Me Thursday website is an unusual one. The challenge is to create one’s own take on the painting “Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière” by French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.
So, I forced the most painterly strokes I could from my Prismacolor markers and did the closest thing I’ve done to a “painting” since art school.
Here’s Ingres’ 1806 original that currently hangs in The Louvre in Paris.
Great work, Josh. This could hang in any museum…….

I don’t understand. Besides the painting’s primary subject, where are the dead people? We need more cross-hatching in the Louvre.
