ART HISTORY GALLERY: NEOCLASSICISM AND ROMANTICISM 2 An Image of the Artwork Jacques-Louis David, Death of Marat , 1793, oil on canvas, 165 x 128 cm (Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels) The Title, Artist, Movement, Date, and Region The art “The Death of Marat” is a painting by Jacques-Louis David during the era of neoclassicism and romanticism in French. It is a 1973 oil on canvas painting done in France and symbolizes the murder of a French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat. It has become one of the most famous images of the revolutionary war in France. The painting measuring 165 x 128 cm is currently available in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels (Pamela & Rita, n.d). Why I was Attracted to this Work and its Two Noteworthy Characteristics

ART HISTORY GALLERY: NEOCLASSICISM AND ROMANTICISM 3 I selected this piece of art because it reminds me of a very famous revolutionary leader's martyrdom. This art's unique characteristic is that it is an idealized piece of art that depicts the radical journalist's life and times who played a key role in the French Revolution ( Tadjibayev et al., 2020). I also selected it because it commemorates a personable hero and the fact that it was intended to capture more than the horrific martyrdom of the French revolutionary leader (LeMieux et al., n.d). Based on a careful examination of this piece of art, the process and components of art appreciation depict a sense for a realistic impression in the painting. The artist was clear from the start that the artist intended to give a methodical construction of the victim’s martyrdom. This process of art appreciation gives the art a striking set up that is now known as an "awful beautiful lie."
