David is a monument. “Father of the French School”, “regenerator of painting”, he created images that still haunt our collective imagination today: Marat assassinated, Bonaparte crossing the Alps, the Coronation of Napoleon… It is through the filter of his paintings that we represent the great moments of the Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire, and in his portraits that the society of that time comes alive again.

To mark the bicentenary of his death in exile in Brussels in 1825, the Louvre Museum offers a fresh perspective on a personality and body of work of exceptional richness and diversity. The exhibition highlights the inventive power and expressive force of Jacques-Louis David's (1748-1825) paintings, which are more imbued with feeling than the imposing rigor of his canvases might suggest.

With the kind support of the National Museum of the Palaces of Versailles and Trianon.
With exceptional loans from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
With the kind support of Deloitte, major sponsor of the exhibition.
