Charlie Chaplin | Vivi!

Ho perdonato errori quasi imperdonabili,

ho provato a sostituire persone insostituibili

e dimenticato persone indimenticabili.

Ho agito per impulso,

sono stato deluso dalle persone

che non pensavo lo potessero fare,

ma anch’io ho deluso.

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) was a French Neoclassicist painter. Although he thought of himself as a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was his portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his greatest legacy.

A man profoundly respectful of the past, he assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis Eugène Delacroix.

His exemplars, as he once explained, were "the great masters which flourished in that century of glorious memory when Raphael set the eternal and incontestable bounds of the sublime in art ... I am thus a conservator of good doctrine, and not an innovator".
