Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres: The Betrothal of Raphael
and the Niece of Cardinal Bibbiena
Raphael was clearly Ingres's idol. Here is another episode from his life. For whatever reason, the powerful Cardinal Bibbiena wished Raphael to marry his niece. In love with another, Raphael kept putting him off. The cardinal was not pleased.
Below is Raphael's portrait of Cardinal Bibbiena, done in 1516.
