	The Death of Marat - Jacques-Louis David
		From the outset, David was in active sympathy with the Revolution, and =his majestic historical paintings (especially the Oath of the Horatii, Death of Socrates, and Brutus's Sons) were universally hailed as artistic demands for political action.
		David, Marat's colleague in the Convention, had visited him only the day before the murder, and he recalled the setting of the room vividlly, the tub, the sheet, the green rug, the wooden packing case, and above all, the pen of the journalist.
		David's position was unchallenged as the painter of the Revolution, and he sought in his three paintings of `martyrs of the Revolution', to apply to these modern men the same universal tragedy to be found in his beloved antiquity.

	Madame Récamier by DAVID, Jacques-Louis
		In David's portrait, noble simplicity, expressed by the simple dress and the Spartan decoration, is also eloquent in the open face.
		The Spartan severity of David's composition, the Neoclassical sparseness of the arrangement, the cool handling of the room, the distanced pose, with the lady turning her shoulder to the viewer, were all elements with which Neoclassicism had operated for long enough.
		Where David gave the beautiful woman a rather severe touch around the mouth, Gérard embellishes her features with the hint of a gentle smile, making her look younger.

		David spoke of her as a "woman whose virtues and character had assured the happiness of his life." Political disagreements, particularly his attachment to the ruthless Robespierre, may have exacerbated their personal differences.
		David's frank but sympathetic portrait catches not only the homeliness of his wife's features, but her intelligence and directness as well.
		The satiny texture of her dress, unadorned by jewelry as Madame David surrendered hers in support of the revolution, is created with heavy brushes of thick pigment, the plume with lighter strokes of thinner color.

		David has shown this before in previous pieces of artwork, displaying the firm figures who are ‘refusing to sink their differences with the revolutionary community’.

	Sizing Up Jacques-Louis David, in a Compact Way - New York Times
		David quickly became the 19th-century's bête noire, the personification of the Academy that Courbet and Manet challenged and the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists largely ignored.
		Somehow, David had the ambition and the savvy to keep his boat not only afloat but somewhere near the head of the fleet.
		He was a confidant of Danton and Robespierre during their Reign of Terror; during this period he organized revolutionary festivals and painted his starkest, perhaps greatest painting, "Marat Assassinated." He then served a year in prison after the fall of the Jacobins.
