The Oath of the Horatii new21/Jacques-Louis David-363328.jpg 1784 Oil on canvas Musee du Louvre, Paris The Oath of the Horatii proved to be a triumph for David. The public was overwhelmed by his break with the Baroque stylistic tradition. For the first time, the unity of time and action had been brought into a deliberately severe composition. The story of the passionate readiness of these heroes for self-sacrifice was known, and it was also recognized that the weeping women in the composition are an expression of foreboding, symbols of the tragedy to come. Artist: DAVID, Jacques-Louis Title: The Oath of the Horatii (detail) , painting Date: 1801-1850 French : historical
