"Roger Rescuing Angelique (after Ingres)" is a significant work by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Created in 1857, this piece is a testament to Whistler's early engagement with the themes and techniques of the Old Masters, particularly the influence of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, a French Neoclassical painter. The work is a copy of Ingres' original painting "Roger Freeing Angelica," which itself draws from the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto.

Whistler's rendition of "Roger Rescuing Angelique" showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to emulate the refined, linear qualities that characterized Ingres' style. The painting depicts the dramatic moment when the knight Roger rescues the princess Angelique from a sea monster, a scene rich with dynamic tension and romantic heroism. Whistler's interpretation remains faithful to the composition and narrative of Ingres' original, yet it also reflects his burgeoning artistic identity and technical prowess.

This work is particularly notable within Whistler's oeuvre as it marks a period of his artistic development where he was deeply influenced by European masters. It also underscores his academic training and his commitment to mastering the classical techniques before moving on to develop his distinctive style, which would later be characterized by his innovative use of color and form, and his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement.

"Roger Rescuing Angelique (after Ingres)" is housed in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be an important piece for understanding Whistler's early artistic journey and his engagement with historical and literary themes. The painting not only highlights Whistler's technical skill but also his ability to reinterpret and breathe new life into classical subjects, paving the way for his later, more avant-garde works.
