The Death of Marat: The Propaganda of Jacques-Louis David | French Revolution

Jacques-Louis David was a court painter turned radical revolutionary. David used his artistic powers in the name of terror and revolution.
Jacques-Louis David was the leading painter in France working in the neoclassical style. His paintings would become emblems of the French Revolution, representing both the high ideals and the carnage. "The Death of Marat (La Mort de Marat)" is painting made for the modern world.

Always loved this painting. Never thought about how the formal aspects of it were mediated by politics. Fascinating.

I have always liked the depiction of Marat's death shown at the 2:52 mark (although Marat is not visible in this clip).

Jacques Louis David was an incredible painter and a pure talent. Then, the French Revolution had a great taste in Art. 😉😉😉

[@altinaykor364]

Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun was better than him, much more talented and also wiser

I remember seeing this painting as a kid lool

[@sfay811]

writing a paper on this!

[@sherrilynnnelson703]

...And then there's David's later portrait of Napoleon to consider

[@Sparrows1121]

Considering monarchs, priests of autocracy back then. Its understandable why they resorted to massive violence to get power to the people and not to a centralized unit
