"By the late 1820s Delacroix was seen as the leader of the Romantic faction in French art, while Ingres was honoured as the head of contemporary classicism. Ingres's disdain for Delacroix was open; Delacroix did not, however, accept the role thrust on him, always asserting his respect for the classical tradition."
