Painter
Jacques-Louis David
Painted the Revolution and then Napoleon, voted for the king's execution as a deputy, and was exiled to Brussels after Waterloo.
Jacques-Louis David was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era. In the 1780s, his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward classical austerity, severity, and heightened feeling, which harmonized with the moral climate of the final years of the Ancien Régime.
