"Study for The Martyrdom of St Symphorien" is a preparatory work by the French Neoclassical painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, created as part of the planning process for a larger commission. The study is a testament to Ingres's meticulous approach to composition and his dedication to historical and religious subjects, which were common themes in his oeuvre. The artwork depicts the early Christian martyr, Saint Symphorien, who was executed for his faith in the late 2nd century in Autun, France.

Ingres was known for his precise draftsmanship and attention to detail, which is evident in this study. The work likely served as a means for the artist to refine the composition, experiment with the positioning of figures, and explore the emotional resonance of the scene before embarking on the final painting. The study would have been an essential step in Ingres's creative process, allowing him to solve any compositional challenges and to present preliminary ideas to patrons or for his own reference.

The final painting, "The Martyrdom of St Symphorien," was completed in 1834 and is housed in the Cathedral of Saint-Lazare in Autun. It is considered one of Ingres's significant religious works, reflecting the artist's ability to blend classical formality with a deeply felt spirituality. The study itself, as an individual piece, provides insight into the artist's working method and the evolution of his ideas from conception to completion.

As a historical artifact, the study is an important piece within the context of Ingres's body of work, offering scholars and admirers of art a glimpse into the artist's process and the artistic conventions of the period. It is a valuable resource for understanding the development of Neoclassical painting and the continued relevance of religious and historical subjects in 19th-century European art.
