The Art of Making Art
David / French / Greco-Roman / Neoclassical / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This French Neo-classical by Jacques Louis David depicts a scene from Greek history in which the Spartans held the pass against the invading Persians. It was completed in 1813 after fifteen years of work and can easily be read as a commentary on the abdication of Napoleon in that both events were seen as a military defeat that reflects a moral victory. Therefore there is a weighty quality to the painting which many account as a severe attempt at conveying a historical moral.
