Jacques-Louis David, Revolutionary Artist: Art, Politics, and the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780807843505 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The lifetime of Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) coincides with the most tumultuous period in the history of France and much of the Western world. And David's life was closely bound up with the changes that were taking place in French politics, society, and culture. Although most other scholars have focused either on David's artistic activity or on his political career, Warren Roberts examines the connections between these two aspects of his life. Using a historical approach, Roberts provides an interpretation of David's art that illuminates David the man.

Roberts shows that Rossini made probing commentaries on politics and religion in a time of...
