This book examines the archetypical and best-known neoclassical painter in France from a different perspective, one that looks behind the finished painted surfaces and into his diversified preparatory methods. With a rich view of Jacques-Louis David’s drawings, new modes of figuration relate to questions of artistic autonomy and historical agency in times of political agitation.
