Ingres was inconsolable after the death of his first wife, Madeleine, in 1849. To the relief of his friends, he remarried in 1852. Some thirty years Ingres's junior, Delphine Ramel (1808–1887) became a loving companion for the final fifteen years of his life. They were introduced by Charles Marcotte, Ingres's old friend from Rome. Back
