Lora Zombie. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) Catalogue Raisonné. Benjamin Constant Online. Jacques-Louis David. Disclaimer Jacques-Louis David French Neoclassical Painter and Draftsman Self Portrait: 1790 Jacques-Louis David was a highly influential French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the prominent painter of the era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward a classical austerity and severity, chiming with the moral climate of the final years of the ancien régime. David later became an active supporter of the French Revolution and friend of Maximilien Robespierre, and was effectively a dictator of the arts under the French Republic. Jacques-Louis David was born into a prosperous family in Paris on August 30, 1748.
David attempted to win the Prix de Rome, an art scholarship to the French Academy in Rome, four times between 1770 and 1774; once, he lost according to legend because he had not consulted Vien, one of the judges. In Rome, David painted his famous Oath of the Horatii, 1784. Andromache Mourning Hector. Mykola Yaroshenko. Self-Portrait - Mykola Yaroshenko Blind, 1879 Gypsy Woman, 1886 Portrait of A. N.
