JACQUES-LOUIS DAVID - Arte, Rivoluzione e Potere

Jacques-Louis David is one of the greatest painters in the history of art and the leading figure of Neoclassicism. In this video, we retrace his extraordinary career: from the trip to Italy that transformed his style, to masterpieces such as The Oath of the Horatii and The Death of Marat, to the famous portraits of Napoleon Bonaparte. We'll discover how David transformed painting into a political and moral tool: his works not only tell stories of ancient Rome or the French Revolution, but also construct true visual myths that still influence our imagination today. We'll also see how his images continue to live on in the present, extending all the way to Banksy's contemporary street art. A journey through art, history, and propaganda that shows how painting can convey power, revolution, and the myth of the hero.
