Raphael and La Fornarina
Raphael and La Fornarina is a painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, known in five versions.
The painting belongs to his troubador style period and shows Raphael and his first love, La Fornarina. Ingres originally planned to produce a series of paintings of episodes from Raphael's life, but he only produced two paintings - the other is that of cardinal Bibbiena offering to marry his niece to Raphael.
