"La Source" (The Source) is a celebrated oil painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1856. This masterpiece is renowned for its depiction of a female nude in a serene pose, embodying the ideal of classical beauty while also reflecting Ingres's fascination with the exotic and the erotic. The painting showcases a young woman standing against a rocky backdrop, holding a pitcher from which water flows, symbolizing the source of life. The figure's contrapposto stance, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, highlights Ingres's mastery of form and his devotion to the ideals of the Renaissance and Neoclassicism.

Measuring 163 cm by 80 cm, "La Source" is noted for its exquisite detail, harmonious composition, and the smooth, almost marble-like quality of the figure's skin, which exemplifies Ingres's skill in rendering the textures and subtleties of the human form. The work's clear, cool color palette and the tranquil expression of the subject contribute to its ethereal and timeless quality.

Originally met with mixed reviews, "La Source" has since been recognized as one of Ingres's most important and influential works, encapsulating his lifelong pursuit of beauty and perfection in art. It has been interpreted as a symbol of purity and innocence, as well as a representation of the artist's idealized vision of femininity.

Today, "La Source" is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and remains a subject of study for its technical prowess and its place within the broader context of 19th-century French painting. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its combination of classical ideals with a modern sensibility, making it a pivotal work in the oeuvre of Ingres and a landmark in the history of Western art.
