David was to me the quintessential neo-classical artist and this collection shows us this preparatory sketches and his thoughts through the years, I like it. However, I don't know why we have to fawn over these millionaires and billionaires thanking them for letting the public see art that should be public anyway and not sit in their mansions for them, their families and rich friends to see alone. Works of cultural and historical heritage should belong to everyone, not just the rich. They already have the best lives. That's what the French Revolution was fought for.
Thank you for making your exhibitions available online. It is definitely only an encouragement to visit in person, if possible. David's work has the narrative clarity of a Golden Age Hollywood film.
Thanks to The Met for this great video and perfect presentation by Madame Perrin Stein. The story of the history and artistic life of David was absolutely interesting and I am sorry I won't be able to see this exhibition. I am always a great admirer of painters who also really like to draw. In any case, I will see the video a few more times, Thanks and ENJOY this great exhibition !!!
Those portraits from prison are outstanding. I used to think his work was rather cold but learning more about his exciting life through this video definitley enhances my experience of his work. Superb exhibition and video!
There is a strange parallel between Davids drawings and Goyas drawings, disasters of war, portraying the deadly retreat of Napoleons army from Spain...and also how at that time many public figures sought refuge from persecution in Bruxelles, Victor Hugo comes to mind... interesting show in these troubled times. thank you
This collection is inspiring! Thank you for going to these lengths to explore this artists works. It just goes to show what we're missing from other Masters.
I see your point. You see... political mass manipulation and fake news are not something that social media created. They always existed through different media.
Yes, because no one should draw to impress. Drawing, is for ideas, and problem solving! Wrong! If people weren't impressed, then artists wouldn't have fame!
It's so revealing to witness the hard work and struggles of an artist prior to painting the masterpiece.
Thank you!
Definitely one of the best artist and draftsmen in history.His skill & knowledge of human anatomy is outstanding.
Marvelous narration by the curator - so learned but yet accessible.

I used to love David but when I read up on his participation in the French Revolution it changed the way I looked at his work.
I see your point. You see... political mass manipulation and fake news are not something that social media created. They always existed through different media.
Did David use the grid method to enlarge his preliminary sketches to a huge canvas?
yes, sometimes he did
great video

I had the opportunity to visit the museum. It has incredible pieces of art. But the museum workers are nefarious people

Factual issues, bias narrative, he was not more than he was, which was more than enough.
