La Pastiche Oath of the Horatii, 1784-1785 Jacques-Louis David Gold Wood Framed 31-Inches H x 43-Inches W People Canvas Hand-Painted Painting

Now hanging in the Louvre, the original masterpiece by Jacques Louis David measures over 10 feet on each side. The monumental scale, stark lighting, emotional subject matter, and distinct figure/ground relationship made it an international sensation. With even the Pope hearing of its exhibition in the Paris Salon, it cemented David's status and Neoclassical style as the pinnacle of artistic development in 1784. The three brothers on the left solemnly salute their father as they ready themselves to fight for Rome. The woman on the right, their sister, is weeping as she knows that her brothers are to fight against another trio; one of whom is her lover. A dynamic composition, its powerful themes of loyalty, selflessness, service, and family continue to resonate with viewers today. Our artists have painstakingly preserved David's original image by hand, in oil paint on the highest grade canvas. Pair this powerful scene with one of our classic frames for an incredible conversation piece. Frame Description: Athenian Gold King Frame
