The Dauphin's Entry Into Paris
The Dauphin's Entry Into Paris is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, executed in 1821. It is now in the Wadsworth Atheneum collection in Hartford, Connecticut.
As a small-scale painting of a scene from medieval history it belongs to the painter's Troubador style period. It shows the future Charles V of France returning to Paris on 2 August 1358 after a revolt there.[1] It was commissioned by Amédée-David Pastoret, whose ancestor Jehan Pastoret, president of the parliament of Paris, is shown in red.
