the French Revolution Art propaganda
In the context of the 18th and 19th century, art was a powerful medium of propaganda. Kings, queens, noblemen, and other leaders regularly had artists paint their image in such a way that would convey strength, authority, kindness, or whatever virtues they sought to project. The most important artist associated with the French Revolution was Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), whose neoclassical paintings served as propaganda for the Revolution. David was a friend of revolutionary leader Maximilien Robespierre and a member of the Jacobin Club, a revolutionary group who led the French Revolution. During the revolution he became a sort of director of the arts. David painted a number of well-known works, including Oath of the Horatii, The Death of Socrates, and The Tennis Court Oath, and later several memorable portraits of Napoleon.
