This official catalog accompanies the exhibition Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825), held at the Musée du Louvre in Paris from October 15, 2025, to January 26, 2026.
Published by Hazan Éditions, this richly illustrated 372-page volume offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most influential painters of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Through essays by leading art historians and over two hundred color reproductions, the catalog traces David’s artistic and political journey, from his early academic training under the Ancien Régime to his role as the visual chronicler of the French Revolution and the Empire.
Highlights include in-depth studies of masterpieces such as The Death of Marat, The Intervention of the Sabine Women, and The Coronation of Napoleon, as well as a closer look at the painter’s studio practice, his students, and his enduring influence on neoclassical and modern art.
Elegant in design and scholarly in tone, this publication is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of art, history, and ideology in Revolutionary France.
