Question: Who is Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres!? Read details!.!?
This will sound very, very weird, but here it goes!. Today I had to do a webquest for my art class and one of the artist we had to look up and find painting for was Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres!. My teacher had given us specific links to go to so we could find some of their works of art!. I clicked on this link for the specific artist and it came up with small pictures of faces that looked like they were formed by cursive words, so I clicked on one and it actually formed a larger picture of two men being sexually active and when I tried to click on another, so didn't that one, and I understand that may not be awkward for some of the art world, but considering I was in the school library I exed it out quickly and almost certain that that wasn't the artist my teacher meant to give us I searched Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres on google and it came up with completely different paintings all together!. So my question is, is there an artist who may have a similar name to Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres who has different drawings or was there just a mistake in the links!? Can anyone solve my confusion!? Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you were following links given to you by your teacher you need to tell him or her what happened!. I'm guessing the link just got corrupted, or was old and had been resold!.

Hi,

When doing your search with the complete name, search like this :
"name" and not just name!.
This will give exact results!.
Ingres together with Girodet were students of another great master Jean Louis David!.
