Louis David and his School in French Art History
A review of M Delecluze’s study of Louis David, his life, and the Davidian circle. It traces David’s Paris birth in 1748, early training, Rome sojourn, and evolving style from classical ideals to contemporary French subjects, noting his clash with the Royal Academy and later exile, ending with his Brussels death at seventy six.
