 David Pinkney, French Historian
David H. Pinkney was an internationally renowned scholar of French history, noted for his books Napoleon III and the Rebuilding of Paris (1958), The French Revolution of 1830 (1972; translated and published by the Presses Universitaires de France in 1988), and Decisive Years in France, 1840-1847 (1986).
Although Pinkney's scholarly work encompassed the French Revolution of 1789 through modern times, his particular emphasis in his later years was France in the early and middle 1840s.
Wright reflects: "From the founding of the Society for French Historical Studies until his death…, Pinkney's professional career was intimately interwoven with the life of the Society--more closely, indeed, than that of any other American historian of France."

 The Legacy of Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825) | Special Topics Page | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
David championed a style of rigorous contours, sculpted forms, and polished surfaces; history paintings, such as his Lictors Returning to Brutus the Bodies of His Sons (Musée du Louvre, Paris) of 1789, were intended as moral exemplars.
The completion in 1814 of David's monumental history painting, Leonidas at Thermopylae (Louvre), coincided with the fall of Napoleon; not surprisingly, the image of the courageous Spartan king, facing imminent defeat in battle, met with Napoleon's disapproval in the aftermath of his disastrous Russian campaign.
David himself had been exiled to Belgium in 1816, where he died in 1825, and his studio was run by his loyal pupil Gros until his own death in 1835.
