Neo-classicism brings back he fundamentals of the Greek and Roman art. During this time Academies started up and students studied famous works of the past to develop their own skills. So the life like images came back. But the pieces these newer artist express there ideas of courage, sacrifice and love for ones counrty through many of these pieces during this period. This painting looks like a photograph which is amazing. Besides it being life like the picture shows how the politics influence the paintings. When Napoleon was in rule he made David the court painter.
Another picture David painted is the Death of the Marat. The picture shows the murder of the politican Jean-Paul Marat. THis painting just shows another way how the politics influence the art work when they are in control of it.
