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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoberts presents David's art as a personal record that is an extension of his inner life and a product of historical conditions. David's art, like his character and his actions, cannot be fully understood without understanding the changes that led to and then flowed from the French Revolution. Roberts here considers these changes and their impact on David from the perspectives of the historian and the art historian, and he comes to conclusions that are important for both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Warren Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.10w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807843505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoberts, Warren:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Warren Roberts, Distinguished Teaching Professor of History at the University at Albany, is author of \u003ci\u003eMorality and Social Class in Eighteenth-Century French Literature\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJane Austen and the French Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40412452683891,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":93.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_645b8f28-6ffc-4fa5-a208-e7db12154181.jpg?v=1662126747","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/jacques-louis-david-revolutionary-artist-art-politics-and-the-french-revolution-9780807843505","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
