The Ambassadors of Agamemnon in the tent of Achilles is an 1801 painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, produced for the Prix de Rome competition. It is now in the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris.
It shows an episode from Homer's Iliad, in which Achilles refuses to listen to the envoys sent by Agamemnon to convince him back into the Trojan War. The topic assigned for the artists competing for the Prix de Rome in 1801 was the warriors' procession toward battle; Ingres' interpretation of the subject characteristically emphasized a moment of psychological drama instead of physical action.[1] The work was intended as a demonstration of Ingres' mastery of the human figure in classical history painting – Odysseus is shown in a red cloak derived from a sculpture by Pseudo-Phidias.
A small oil on wood sketch for the painting exist in the collection of the nationalmuseum of Sweden.
The painting is in the neo-classical style and belongs to the school of Jacques-Louis David, in whose studio Ingres had trained. It also shows new influences from John Flaxman, whose work had just had its first Parisian exhibition.[2]

[fr] Achille recevant les envoyés d'Agamemnon
Achille recevant les envoyés d'Agamemnon est un tableau peint en 1801 par Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres destiné au concours du grand prix de Rome de peinture. Il s'agissait de sa seconde participation au concours, et ce thème lui permit de remporter le grand Prix devant Jules-Antoine Vauthier. Le sujet inspiré de l'Illiade est une démonstration de l'emprunt par l'artiste de figures tirées de l'art grec antique, notamment celle représentant Ulysse drapé de rouge dérivée d'une sculpture du pseudo Phodion. Représentatif du style néoclassique assimilé à l'école de son maître Jacques-Louis David, il en marque cependant certaines originalités remarquées par John Flaxman quand il voit l'œuvre à Paris. Le tableau fait partie des collections de l'école nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris.[it] Gli inviati di Agamennone
Gli inviati di Agamennone (o Achille riceve gli ambasciatori di Agamennone) è un dipinto a olio su tela di Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres del 1801 (quando l'artista aveva appena vent'anni) prodotto espressamente per il concorso Prix de Rome. Questa era già la sua seconda partecipazione al Premio, ed il tema mitologico-letterario gli permise di vincere il "Gran Premio" assegnato da Jules Antoine Vauthier.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
