L. Siegfried, and Helen Weston Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), the
most celebrated painter of his era, was appointed court painter to
Napoleon in 1804 and exiled to Brussels in 1816. This important
book--based on the proceedings of an international
symposium--explores David's grand projects of the Empire period and
the often mysterious works produced in his last years as a
political exile. David after David features twenty-one essays by
leading art historians that discuss these later works--which
include innovative portraits as well as paintings and drawings that
address the opposing themes of the antique and modern--in the
aesthetic, political, and social contexts of their production and
reception. The book also draws upon recently discovered letters the
artist wrote in exile and provides fascinating new perspectives
into his life and art. Distributed for the Sterling and Francine
Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts
