Jacques-Louis David
French
b.Aug. 30, 1748, Paris

Jacques-Louis David is famous for his huge, dramatic canvasses of Napoleon and other historical figures, including Oath of the Horatii (1784), Death of Marat (1793) and The Sabine Women (1799). Early in his career he was a leader in the neoclassical movement; later his subjects became more modern and political. David was himself active in the French Revolution as a supporter of Robespierre and is sometimes called the chief propagandist for the Revolution; after the Reign of Terror ended he was briefly imprisoned for his actions. When Napoleon took power David became his court painter and created several grand canvasses of the Emperor, including the heroic Napoleon Bonaparte Crossing the Alps (1801) and the enormous Coronation of Napoleon and Josephine (1807). David also painted Napoleon in His Study (1812), with its famous image of Napoleon with one hand tucked inside his vest. After Napoleon ouster David went in exile to Brussels, where he remained until his 1825 death Related Paintings of Jacques-Louis David :. | St Roch Asking the Virgin Mary to Heal Victims of the Plague | Leonidas at Thermopylae (mk05) | Hector | Portrait of Doctor Alphonse Leroy | The Sabine Woman | Related Artists: Hayley Lever(28 September 1876 - 6 December 1958) was an Australian-American painter, etcher, lecturer and art teacher.
