| Description |  |
Ingres greatly admired the artists and poets of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. Here he depicts the Greek lyric poet Pindar (518-438 BC), holding a lyre, and Ictinus, the architect of the Parthenon in Athens. The painting derives from a much larger allegorical composition by Ingres.
